BLACKOUT open thread!

To celebrate the release of Blackout, 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. (I will not reply to every comment; I call partial comment amnesty. But I may well join some of the discussion, or answer questions or whatnot.)

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, since I always wind up getting involved in these things.

Have fun!

There's nothing at all explicit.

And how raised as siblings they were is really dependent on how you view the Masons. I honestly see them as more like Ron and Hermione than Ron and Ginny: they were the only students at a boarding school for the damned. If that helps.

Tangential to this, but I thought the insights you gave through Shaun's eyes in to what their childhood was like really helped form the base of it all. In Feed you set up the fact that most people are social-contact shy, and then you have S&G realising as teenagers (or younger) that their parents don't really care, and they only have each other, and they'd already be close, because of the way that they're raised... It was really well done.

The kiss made me grin stupidly *g* It was just... gah. *fails at being coherent*
