CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT open thread!

To celebrate the release of Chimes at Midnight, here. Have an open thread to discuss the book. Judging by the comments I'm seeing, some of you have had time, and I'd really, really rather book discussion (sometimes including spoilers) didn't crop up on other posts.

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.

I feel foolish asking this, but is Toby no longer addicted to goblin fruit even though she is still a changeling? She didn't turn herself totally fae with the hope chest right?

I love this series. ^_^

It seemed to me that yes, she's still a changeling, and no, she's no longer addicted to goblin fruit. I suspect whatever part of the process of changing her blood saved her from elf-shot also saved her from the goblin fruit.

Rereading the scene Toby stated that she felt less human than before the goblin fruit. I think that is because removing the goblin fruit addiction required removing some of her humanity with it.

I did think it was a bit odd that she was still changeling but seemed to have completely no interest in goblin fruit anymore. I think it would have made more sense (in my own head) if there was still craving by the human part of her, but it's negligible enough that it's completely manageable/easy to ignore since the balance of her blood is so predominantly fae now.

If course, that would mean that if any other future mishap would cause her to swing back to mostly-human, she's going to be hit real bad with the addiction again, which would be bad. Or interesting, depending on how you look at it.
