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!

It was amazing. Full on hysterical laughter/giggling/screaming etc. There were points when I put it down because I had to work, then half an hour later I would think of a scene or a line (Favourite line ever, "Last guy I was interested in turned out to be an incestuous necrophiliac, so no, not currently dating.") and just randomly have the hysterical giggles again. It made my heart hurt, and when Shaun and George met in Seattle, I couldn't keep reading because it was so perfect, I needed to let it absorb.

Becks was fabulous, and broke my heart so many times, and Shaun at the end with his mental George and the real George... ♥

The only sad part was not seeing an S or G pov at the very end. I will hold out hope for a mini-story someday in which motorcycles and zombie moose feature prominently, but until then, I'll reread the snuggling scenes (and the entire book, obviously) and imagine them killing dead things in Canada.

Honestly, the lack of S or G at the end was because they were already done. Peace out, fuck off, we're leaving. I'm lucky I could pin Mahir down long enough to have a conclusion!
