CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT open thread!

Bought it yesterday on the way home from work. Read it last night when I should have been packing. Went to work today on way too little sleep.

Thoughts my exhausted brain is currently producing:

Loved the Quentin reveal scene. Even though I knew it was coming, it was an odd sort of shock when it actually happened.

I was in tears at one point, I think the part where Toby realized she was mostly human all of a sudden. That part was hard to read - in a good way. It was intense.

Tybalt nearly dying left me wondering two things:
a) does this mean he's on his last life? (Because he didn't come back to life on his own this time)
b) what's the actual definition of death for the fae? It seems like it's different than it is for humans. (Which would explain why no one ever tries CPR, etc.)

I like the new things Toby can do with blood.

I'm pretty sure I have more thoughts than that, but they may have to wait until I go back for a second read - preferably followed by a longer night's sleep than last night.

I have to wonder whether he's on his last life or whether it was because they were in an iron-laced room. (I don't think any of his other deaths onscreen have involved iron?)

That's a fair point. But then, wouldn't the night haunts have just told her to get him away from the iron?

It was a little weird on the "oh, btw, suddenly he's nearly dead enough to call the night haunts but not enough to have him be actually dead" bit there. Very confusing. It almost seemed a little rigged to get Toby to owe them a favor, when you think about it. I don't think the night haunts had control over that situation enough to rig it up, mind you, but otherwise it seemed....strange.
