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.

finished it 3:30 Am, including the short story that was included accidentally (Disabled the wifi on the Kindle so they couldn´t snatch away it before I had read it).
And- wow. I liked it best of all the Toby books sofar (and I liked all the stories). I love all those characters, male and female, and having Toby assembling them in a band of merry men and leading them against the queen was a fairy dream come true! At last we know who Quentins parents are (as if we hadn´t guessed) and who Arden is (honestly I didn´t have a clue). Also the library! I want to know more about the library!!
just two things i didnt like:
1. Tybald almost dying: he´s done that now for the...third time? Stop dying already!
2. The book is too cheap! You are a good person, Seanan, for keeping the prices affordable for everyone, but that was the most enjoyable book I read this year, and 4,30 Eur seems like nothing for that. Well I will solve that by picking up the paper version in my local bookshop tomorrow (not today though. We have your Obama roaming Stockholm today, and the traffic chaos is insane).

I don't actually set the book prices! And Amazon regularly discounts to a level where they lose money, actively so, to keep people from going to other retailers. It's predatory and mean. :(

In that case, I am glad that I gave my business to a local shop!
