SPARROW HILL ROAD open thread!

To celebrate the release of Sparrow Hill Road, 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.

Just finished it, and I totally adored it.

The mechanic / routewitch who crushes the magicked car so that Gary can be with Rose -- that whole scene is just about the most awesome thing EVER.

Also, I really love your love of Americana -- diners and cheeseburgers and jukeboxes and asphalt and prom dresses and all. ♥

Also I really love what you do with the trope of the deeper roads which underlie the roads we know. Ghost roads, the Shadow Roads Tybalt walks -- they make all of creation into a palimpsest where the easy-to-spot narrative is almost always concealing an older road which is underneath.
