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!

Hm. Considering that Amandine's mad anyway and the presented idea of mixing blood being not good for the sanity, one has to wonder what a Dochas/Daoine Sidhe mix would've been like.

Since the Daoine Sidhe are Oberon/Titania, and the Dochas Sidhe are Oberon/unknown, probably not bad. They have an ancestor in common, and that's usually what makes for stable mixes.

So then if a faerie made only by Maeve (like Undine - I think you have them as being made from Maeve's tears) and a Daoine Sidhe had kids, the mix would tend to the off-kilter side?

Yup.

I'm thinking about Raysel's bloodline now. Sylvester is Daoine Sidhe (Oberon/Titania). Luna's parents, Blind Michael and Acacia are children of Maeve... with no involvement from Oberon, then?

Incorrect. Blind Michael is Oberon/Maeve, Acacia is Titania. That said, Luna is not a mammal. Raysel should never have been conceived.
