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.

I read Winter Long a second time, more slowly, and now I'm rereading the whole Toby saga in order. Thank you, thank you, Seanan, for giving me so much goodness when I need it. There's a reason your books live in the comfort books bookshelf.

Anyway, I just had to mention that my favorite scene in the book, even more than all the Toby and Tybalt loveliness *hearts* is - has to be - Auntie Luideag teasing Toby about her hot boyfriend and his leather pants. That is so human and ordinary and affectionate, so much a family thing, and shows how far the two of them have come and how much Toby has grown, that it makes me smile and tear up all at once. I love it. I may have to put a bookmark in there, just so I can read that passage when I need cheering up. Thank you.
