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!

One thought I've had re: George and Shaun is that it's not that different from Harry and Elaine in the Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden books ... except that Harry and Elaine were adopted as teens, not babies/toddlers.

(It could be that Harry and Elaine bothers some readers too, I just haven't encountered them.)

All that said: Yes, I loved when she kissed him. I was a bit surprised when she said they never wrote down that part of their relationship. I thought it would be in their written diary but then again I can see why they wouldn't (parental snoops).

Does it make me old that the the first thing their relationship reminded me of was an episode of "Fantasy Island"? Though in that case the siblings had not known they were adopted and had not acted on their attraction or even admitted it to each other until they learned the truth. Still, a bit on the risque side for circa 1980 broadcast TV.
