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 love the book... but you cheated on your own rules with Gillian.. she choose.. Don't get me wrong, I have been hoping for Gillian to show up for real since book one, and I would have been devastated if you had killed her (I had an awful time forgiving you for Dare in book one, and let's not start on feed :P ), but wasn't the choice all about if they choose human, they are killed on the spot, because humans died anyway?
I cannot wait for Ashes of Honor to come out.. We need to invent a time machine... :)
On another note, I bought another copy to set you on your way for the new york time bestseller list... and I hope to see you again next year at comic con :)

I'm glad you liked the book, but I didn't cheat. :) As catsittingstill says, it's that changelings can't be allowed to run free in the human world without considering themselves part of Faerie. Gillian being turned human and then made to forget the things she should have seen is basically what happened with Katie in book three. She's not a changeling being returned to the human world; she's a human girl who once intersected with Faerie. But that was in another time, and the past is a different country.

And just in case, Tybalt removed her from the scene before the cavalry turned up to question the decision.
