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.

In my personal headcanon, Alex didn't think about the bunyip comment and the pet monster comment because he was freaked out (understandably) at finding a dead person at the site he'd chosen for a date.

Because...I knew immediately that she was some sort of Australian counterpart to the family when she said those things. :) And while I know the "original" canon, I don't think I remember Shelby?

I love her. I had a moment of terror during her captivity, and then I thought, "wait, this is Seanan, not Mira. Seanan won't kill her, especially not since she's so much like Jo. Mira would totally kill her and possibly bring her back and kill her again, but this is Seanan, and this is Incryptid, not Toby..." Also the proposals were so perf.

I am so sadly unsurprised by the Covenant reaction to Australia.

Also I'm coming to the party Saturday and sent you a contact form email regarding cupcakes and shirtage, the contents of which I am sure you can guess. <333333

I also really loved Shelby's reaction to Sarah because let's face it, Johrlac.

Yeah, it was important to me that we finally have someone whose reaction to cuckoos is the (extremely sensible and reasonable) WHY ARE WE NOT KILLING IT WITH FIRE.
