DEADLINE open thread. Have a party.

To celebrate the release of Deadline [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. I will probably answer a great many comments. I may not answer all of them.

Have fun!

Finished at 1:45 my time.

Reviews posted to Goodreads, Facebook, my DW and my LJ.

And that said:

Ouch, man. We couldn't just find out Shaun was sleeping with Georgia some other way. But at least he had enough self control not to scream George's name en flagrante. Glad Becks got that much. Yeesh.

I adore Mahir. I love him to bits. Too bad his wife Nan doesn't seem to be on board.

I wanted to like Kelly so much after the events of the first book. And by the time she died in Memphis, I did. I admire you for that even as I am very displeased with you for making me go from hating her to liking her just before killing her.

Alaric kinda got on my nerves.

The bulldogs were adorable and cute.

Voice!Georgia rocked, even as it made me whimper and wince for poor Shaun, knowing his sanity slippage got worse if she went from italics to in quotes.

Maggie rocks too.

And could you have been more cruel describing the delicious Indian dinner?

You made my unexpected allergy attack day much better, thank you and WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE TO WAIT A YEAR FOR BLACKOUT OMG OMG OMG

"I adore Mahir. I love him to bits. Too bad his wife Nan doesn't seem to be on board."

All things considered, it's not surprising. Mahir accepted an arranged marriage because Nan looked like Georgia. It's hard to imagine that working out well for the first year, regardless of whether she knows or not.

This is true, but it seems that she is not terribly supportive of him, whether or not she knows how much like Georgia she looks.

It seemed to be working out at least okayish except for Shaun being as much of a jerk to her as he possibly could.

And Mahir seemed very upset about the possibility of losing her -- before he finally got on the plane, at which point he decided losing her was pretty bad, but not as bad as a global conspiracy.

Shaun doesn't like her. Mahir is quite fond.

Old Shaun would have probably gotten to know her or left that to Buffy. Post-dead Georgia Shaun, not so much and doesn't have that option. Given Mahir said her family was fighting his for Most Relieved, I... don't really yet have an opinion about her, being unwilling to borrow Shaun's, even if he's not using most of his opinions right now.
