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.

I love this book a lot. The bit with Alex's eyes ... that was visceral. After that, I felt bad for the poor lindworm, too. Alex's reaction to Shelby's reaction was perfect.

I am intensely curious about the papers Alice burned, and I am so ready for Alice to show up. I'm sure she'll make a glorious mess when she does.

I'm looking forward to getting Sarah's POV again, too, although I know that's a couple books away. In the short term, I'm looking forward to getting to know Shelby. I found her characterization a bit thin here, but I felt the same way about Dominic in the first book, and everything was fine once I had the second book to complete the picture.

I'm sure this launch week has been less fun than usual, and I wish you lots of cookies and naps.

I think that's often going to be the case with the SOs, because we're getting them filtered through the protagonists, not standing on their own. I really hope you'll understand and like Shelby more after Pocket Apocalypse. :)

And thank you. That is very kind.
