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 have come to love all your series so much that you are one of the only authors whose books I buy the first week, instead of waiting for them to be available through the library. :) (Though if I'd known that Chimes had a short story included only in the print edition, I would have bought that instead of the Kindle one. :( )

Cast in point: I loved Chimes so much! It's a great treat to read Toby being happy in her relationship with Tybalt. I also appreciated the payoff of finding out about Quentin's parents, after being kept on tenterhooks for so many books. I'm glad that Oleander is most sincerely dead, because Toby is accumulating other mortal (heh) enemies at an alarming rate.

Marcia was being awfully sketchy in this book; I kept waiting for a betrayal from her. I suppose this is one of those things I have to wait and see about, hm?

The only bad part about this latest novel is a recurring issue; I want to know how everything turns out, but I don't want to finish and be done with her world, having to wait a whole year for another new installment! It's a good problem to have, I guess.

Thank you so much for providing us with another great look at Toby's ongoing story! :D
