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!

Seanan has said this publicly elsewhere, so I'm not spoiling anything-- Amandine (and by extension, Toby) cannot *add* something to the blood that wasn't already there. She couldn't have *added* human blood to Toby's mix. She could change the balance, the percentage, and she could *remove* things... but her powers don't include *introducing* human blood to a pureblood. (Or, I'm guessing on this part, adding any other race's blood to anyone who wasn't born with at least a small amount of that blood.)

So no... Toby's human father is her biological father. She had to have gotten her human blood from somewhere.

This does not make it impossible for there to have been other connections to Simon...

Hmm. Aw. I just really liked the idea of Sylvester *actually* being her uncle.
