HALF-OFF RAGNAROK open thread!

To celebrate the release of Half-Off Ragnarok, here. Have an open thread to discuss the book. Judging by the comments I'm seeing, some of you've have had time, while others received review copies.

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 in one day! I was fretting that I wouldn't have time to pick up the book while on vacation, but a well-timed illness (well, depending on how you look at it) ended up with me being mostly out for a day. So, reading commenced!

Love the book. Still digesting before I force myself to write coherently about it. I was tearing up a LOT of times over the first half of the book, all when it came to family and Sarah. Oh Sarah </3 it was heartbreaking knowing where all that came from but oh so lovely to see her getting better and better. That feeling of becoming more "organized" once she got into contact with Alex just wrung my heart out. I wonder what Angela would have said about that (assuming she found out later it happened)? And I wish they'd done that sooner, maybe she would have gotten better sooner, but then maybe she might have still been too far gone for it to have ended as well as it did.

I'll admit I think I still prefer the first two "Verity books" over this one, but I might have an extra special soft spot for Dominic. Loved his brief cameo. And this was amazing in its own right. Lindwormssss and Shelby riding one! That was amazing. I just knew she would be another cryptozoologist after hearing she's from Australia, lol. Although after hearing her routine with the cats I wondered if she might be a cryptid capable of talking to cats instead--the recent tiger accident at the Australia Zoo is still a bit fresh in my head and makes me just think that was so much crazy!

This was great fun to read and I was so surprised it was over (read: it was over so soon I need moooorrrreeee).
I'm so glad. :)
