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.

At last someone wonders where the Covenant got a manifest for the Ark! I've been wondering that since the first book! :)

Having Alex call Verity and bring Rose into the main Incryptid series made me smile. Even more so when I realised that The Ghosts of Bourbon Street would feature both Verity and Rose. (Who are a great double-act, by the way, I loved that story.)

Shelby was a great character, and a perfect match for Alex. I hope she gets to take him to Australia and introduce him to some of their beasties. (Which I'm sure will be much scarier than he's used to.)

"They're not extinct. They just don't get out much" made me giggle.

I think I found a mistake though... When Alex was talking about Great-Grandpa Healy's notes (page 205), he describes Alice Healy as his maternal grandmother, whereas in the family tree she's is father's mother, so she's his paternal grandmother.

I'm loving this series as much as Toby Daye's adventures, the Price family and their allies are great fun. I'm really looking forward to the next one. (I think you've said there'll be another Alex book, then back to Verity? Will Annie get her own book at some point too?)

And thank you for all the free stories on your website, they really help to round out the world that you're building and make it so much more real. It's such a generous thing to do for your fans.

Whoops, good catch on that maternal/paternal grandmother thing, I'll notify DAW.
