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.

*laughs*

This book was the absolute best, with all the little threads piling up (beholden to the Night Haunts Toby?) Jeeeez, you don't play gentle with yourself (and never have). This book made me and my roommate laugh out loud the most, especially Tybalt's reaction to the cat in the bookstore. XD I love the dog and the cast of new characters that popped up and BOY, I was wondering with that bit with the shallowing would pop up again. It seemed a little too important...

Quentin, bless you. We figured out your heritage long ago and we all know Toby had to suspect, but I think the idea of all the danger she put him in gave her a mental block. XD I love our lovely sea witch more and more.. and GOSH, the Library. *swoons over it* And INTERESTING that the Library didn't know about Amandine. Curiouser and curiouser...

And whoa, Toby-- way to pull a rabbit out of your hat with using blood there.

I have no more coherent words to explain my love for this book-- it was just simply all sorts of fantastic. Giggled a bit over what my roommate and I dubbed the "Leverage" endings to chapters. We were half expecting a "Let's go steal us a kingdom" at one point. XD

Just simply amazing. ^____^

Thank you for catching the Leverage endings that is all I ever wanted anyone to do.

You are best.
