THE WINTER LONG open thread!

To celebrate the release of The Winter Long, here. Have an open thread to discuss the book. Judging by the comments I'm seeing, some of you have had time, and I'd really, really rather book discussion (sometimes including spoilers) didn't crop up on other posts.

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.

Wow. Just... wow. If I didn't have to work, I'd have read this twice by now. I absolutely am enthralled by how all of the characters in these books (this one especially) have become rather real, three-dimensional people. Toby all but leaps off the pages.

I also really, really like that those I believed were the 'bad guys' aren't necessarily so. I so truly distrust a straight-line story and this is anything but. The 'October Daye Chronicles' (as I call them) are so twisted and so magnetic that it is almost impossible to get out once one has started on the journey. I salute you, Seanan McGuire, for your incredible story-telling, your incredible cast of characters, and a truly wonderful journey you've taken me on.

There's definitely very little that's really black/white in this.
