I am always impressed by your continuity and worldbuilding -- it's obvious you've figured a lot of stuff out way in advance and have carefully dropped breadcrumbs for us that build. You don't make me feel like you're toying with me either -- I feel like you'll get to more when it's *time* to get to more, not that you're intentionally trying to cliffhanger/hype/taunt me unlike some people (Alan Ball with this last awful-in-my-opinion season of True Blood, George R. R. Martin with his uber-expanding POV nightmare and wanton destruction of major characters {I like that he can go there, but does he have to KEEP going there? Jeez}, and so on).
The hints of Arden are great, though I'm not sure why Toby thinks it's a person and not a place. Maybe it's just me, but I always think old magic and magical places when I think of Arden (Forest of Arden, Amber, etc).
I loved the talking to rocks bit. Danny is a great side-character.
I was okay with Connor dying. He was a good character, and I have no issues with him wanting to cheat on Raysel other than the fact that it was a stupid move from a diplomatic, political point-of-view.
Raysel breaks my heart and freaks me out all at the same time.
The roane stuff - very cool. Can't wait to see more.
I could go on and on, but I'm almost late for a meeting! Great job again, Seanan, I've not been disappointed yet!
