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 cannot believe it took me this long to get around to reading Chimes at Midnight... I knew I'd not be able to stop, so I had to schedule it. I guess getting the flu had a net positive?


I loved the reference to Borderlands; I hope to visit the place again someday.

What's your source on naming etymology? I can't believe that the names Arden, Nolan, and Aethlinn aren't deliberate.

It's all over the place, really. Arden and Nolan both got elements of their names from their mother, who was otherwise unacknowledged by their father (for reasons of her own safety).

I'm glad you're feeling better!
