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!

Yeah... *sad* I just cannot control my reaction to her, that fear and worry about how she will snap...

I do not think it's wrong to be afraid of someone who can snap and hurt you badly and is proven to be dangerous to those who have done them no harm, regardless of the reasons why they're broken.

From Raysel's POV there are reasons to hate Toby but omg, those Lorden kids had never done a thing to her. Rayseline is dangerous and being afraid of her is not a sign that you are unforgiving and cold but rather a sign that you have a functioning survival instinct. When animals get broken to the point where they're dangerous and uncontrollable and in pain all the time we put them down, and Raysel is the kind of person that makes me think the death penalty might sometimes be a kindness.

Thank you; that makes me feel better.

I just feel like Raysel needs to go someplace where she cannot hurt anymore.

They've got a hundred years to figure out what that place is, at least.

Assuming she doesn't die in the meantime.

This.

Just because I can feel sorry for her doesn't mean I don't think she needs to be taken down before she can hurt anyone else. But I can be sad for the necessity of it.
