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 was saving this book for myself as a prize for surviving a big professional obligation, and I survived said obligation, and today I sat down to start reading, and, um, found myself utterly incapable of doing anything else at ALL until I had finished it. OMG, I had forgotten how much I adore them.

Toby being indebted to the night haunts can't possibly end well, but I shall handwave that.

The Quentin reveal was delightful.

The Luidaeg is still made of awesome. And curse words. And awesome curse words. :-)

And OMG, you gave us Tybalt in leather trousers. I love you FOREVER. *resting chin on hands and gazing into the distance dreamily*

Seriously -- I adore the way this book both deepened our understanding of these characters, and also broadened the universe in which they live (bringing in Quentin's folks, e.g. :-) -- and my love for Toby and Tybalt and May and Jazz and Sylvester and, just, ALL of them! cannot be textually rendered.

I keep wondering what the heck kind of assistance the nighthaunts would ever need.

But hey, she keeps bugging them for help, it seems only fair....
