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.

No, they cannot.

Toby can only work with what is there, which is why turning Gillian 100% human was such a crushing loss: once all the fae blood had been removed, it could never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever be given back. Gilly can't even become a Selkie now, because Selkies were originally merlins and had a small amount of fae heritage, which is what allows the skins to work.

Well, that kills one theory. Unless I start playing word games, but I'm going to assume not on that. Oh well.

And that's a rather interesting point about Merlins.
