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!

Got the book in the mail yesterday. Kept eyeing it and not opening it until the kids were in bed, because I didn't want to totally block them out of my consciousness—that's when they get into trouble. (Four and two, yikes.)

Finished slightly after midnight. Very nice. I was doing a lot of preemptive giggling when I could see where the story was going (Oh, she's in Seattle, where Mahir and Maggie are going, oh they're sending Sean into the local CDC, heh) and when I knew the location (my brother used to live a couple of miles away from the Microsoft campus, and so on.) Emotionally satisfying.

I think I'm going to skip Countdown for now, though. I'd noticed with the kids that there are certain things that are very triggery right now, and they all have to do with danger to the small ones. (Children of Earth was an excellent miniseries from Torchwood and I won't be watching it again until the kids are out of college. That... hurt a lot more than it would have five years ago.)
This makes great sense.
