LATE ECLIPSES open thread. Have a party.

To celebrate the release of Late Eclipses [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy], here. Have an open thread to discuss the book.

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.

Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned.

You can also start a book discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence.

Have fun!

Also, he did make that nasty comment to the effect of "there, now you are paid in full" after kissing Toby. My mind is a blank or I would toss off at least a couple of references to fairy tales where a single kiss was considered a more-than-adequate payment for difficult services rendered.

So if {court point of view} Tybalt considers himself a sexy, sexy god -- he IS a king, after all -- and Tybalt lays an intense kiss on the changeling (she IS half mortal, after all), and makes contemptuously clear that the kiss is final payment for a debt (I say, Grisabelle, didn't you tell me that Sylvester's pet changeling was seen clearing up some Cait Sidhe trouble, back a season or so ago?) ... well, serves the changeling right for not bargaining for more durable rewards, doesn't it, and oooo the temper on that one!

That was kind of how I interpreted it... along with the {court point of view} implication that the only way Tybalt would *ever* kiss a *changling* (ew gross!) is in payment of a debt.
