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.

Anyone else just know that prospective girlfriend wasn't going to be freaked out by cryptids? I mean, little sister got to have a guy who wasn't surprised (even if he was with the bad guys), surely Alex deserved a girl who was going to be calm about it.

It may be that reading about Frances Healy has biased me a bit that way. "Survive first, then get angry, and you won't have time to freak out."

Well, she works in a zoo with big cats and is from Australia. Hard to freak anyone out who's like that even if she's not a secret cryptozoologist.

I'd say that if one is dating a biologist*, they'd be skeptical (given how many hoaxes they deal with), but if you, say, show them a fricken or a church griffin (or a lindworm or cockatrice or something else who thinks you might be edible or a threat to their territory), they would be OMGTHISISSOCOOL. One needs a certain type of enthusiasm for the natural world to make it through grad school.

The bigger problem would be in keeping them from publishing ALL THE PAPERS. Because this is so cool and we must tell everyone!

* Possibly scientists in general.
