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.

EVERYTHING I WAS TOLD WAS WRONG AND I LOVE IT. OMG THIS BOOK OMG. I'm going to have to do a series reread and I am okay with that!

Okay, capslock off:

I'm more and more convinced that Toby is eventually going to end up fully fae, not because she wants to, but because she's going to be forced to do it to survive (and if I recall correctly, she's already shifted her own blood around once, so...) And I'm really, REALLY curious as to who Amandine's mother is now. I need to sit and spin some theories on that one.

The Eira reveal was flawless. I was simultaneously saying "I did not see that coming" and "IT WAS THERE ALL ALONG." I love a plot twist that at first seems to come out of nowhere, then makes complete, absolute sense when you look at it and realize the pieces were there all along. Well played.

The Luidaeg was amazing as always and HOLY SHIT at the thought that she's actually killable...and that she's now in Toby's debt :O

My heart is breaking at what's happened with Sylvester and Luna. :(

And last but not least, Tybalt's question is the moment I've waited this whole series for and I didn't know it until it happened. I literally went "Aaawww! :D :D :D" at my desk at lunch break. LOL They are The True OTP.

Looking forward to the next book already! and more of Tybalt's weapons-grade butt-in-leather-pants mmmhmmm
