ONE SALT SEA open thread!

To celebrate the release of One Salt Sea, 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!

I didn't see it that way - more of a "Yeah, I'm in an arranged marriage and my wife is fuck-all insane and I wish I'd never listened to my Duchess..." kind of thing. Wishing he could have just one thing for himself. All mopiness for me was forgiven when he left his skin behind so that he could rescue Toby - that was like going into a firefight with no armor because the enemy had metal-detectors.

The fact that Toby was worried about getting cornered by him or being alone with him at all (as if he didn't understand her response of "No" the first time) was really worrying for me. He also didn't seem to care much about the fact that it would not only cause trouble for him and the courts, but Toby could be put in a very bad position if they had an affair and were found out.

The whole scenario seemed like a precursor to assault, and I breathed a sigh of relief when Connor checked himself, but still.
