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!

I am hoping that The Fox is a meaningful reference of some sort that I'm just not getting, otherwise I'll be forced to complain that she is misnamed. She strikes me as being some kind of bizarre humanoid hybrid offspring of Happy Bunny and Bun-bun.

And you, Miss McGuire, are evil. I am convinced you must have somehow timed the release of Blackout to occur the same day as the start of mosquito season. As if they aren't annoying enough, I swear that some of them are bigger than they were last year.

I think her physical description is partly drawn from a real-world person. I could be wrong, though.

Her mental state appears to be primarily Seanan's creation.

I had tiger mosquitoes in my room last summer. They really are huge.

She's basically a Tuckerization of my best friend, with extra bonus I WILL KILL YOU AND EAT YOUR BONES for a lovely spice.
