MIDNIGHT BLUE-LIGHT SPECIAL open thread!

To celebrate the release of Midnight Blue-Light Special, here. Have an open thread to discuss the book. Judging by the comments I'm seeing, you've had time.

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.) I will be DELETING all comments containing spoilers which have been left on other posts. No one gets to spoil people here without a label.

You can also start a 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, and try not to bleed on the carpet.

1) You know, I did not trust Uncle Mike. Like, I kept expecting to find he was selling Verity out. Or selling out all the cryptids to make sure Verity got out safe, or something.

2) I was also really wondering if one of the Covenant people was actually a Johrlac. I mean, it would completely make sense.

3) Now I'm wondering how the Covenant knew to bring the anti-telepathy charms. Is that just standard field load for when they think a knight has been compromised?

4) I think I love Kitty a little bit now.

5) The scariest thing anyone has said so far was Sunil: "My lady Johrlac, if you allow me to take my brother and depart your hive, I swear, we will never darken your door again,"
I mean, shit. Johrlac have hives,/i>. they're scary enough when they're nomadic life-wreckers. That they might stay in one place and build something? Have a community? And that he said "hive" - he knows what they are; he knows their nature. How?! Yeah, that's scary.

Kitty is pretty damn awesome. I love Istas even more, though. She's just such a hammer, it's wonderful.

Johrlac hives are the worst thing ever.

Well, personal taste. I mean, I like Istas too, but Kitty really rose to the occasion. Nobody would have said a thing if she'd just closed up shop and left town. But she said, no, I'm going to make this place a refuge and the Covenant isn't going to chase us out.


Yeah... I'm pretty serious that nuking 'em sounds like a good idea.

Which makes total sense. I like Kitty. She's a good egg.
