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.

Just finished.

I had a lot of "oh SHIT" moments and a lot of "well, OF COURSE" moments. Lots of surprises but nothing that felt like it came out of nowhere.

I teared up a couple times, especially when Dianda was trying to comfort Toby, even though I KNEW Tybalt and Quentin weren't really dead (well, I was pretty sure).

Sylvester and Luna made me so sad. And so did Simon but in an entirely different way.

But then the ending was just delightful and made me happy even though I am certain that they will be happy for approximately 12 minutes before poor Toby has to go save the world AGAIN.

I loved it. Thank you.
Poor Dianda. She is not built for comforting people.
