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.

River. YES. I had the same thought.

I'm disabled in physical, mental, neurological, developmental, and neurodivergent ways*, and I relate to both Sarah and River in scary ways, because there are times when my own brain gets away and I'm floating in my own neuronal essence of WTF. I watch myself from inside and my heart breaks every time I cannot explain what I need. Seanan has does an amazing, fantastic job with her portrayal of Sarah.

I'm not disabled, but I have lost many of the talents of mind and brain that I was born with, for an assortment of reasons... I, too, identify with River and Sarah. I hope Seanan writes Sarah making a complete (or very nearly complete) recovery.
