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 don't know how I missed the triplets part. Now I have to go read for that again.

Do I want to know who/what killed them? O.o

September's death had to be relatively recent (past few centuries?) right? I mean, Amy named October, and presumably August, for her. Wait- did Toby actually know her? Isn't Gillian July?

In some of the Luidaeg's memories, she talks/thinks about the children of Titania hunting down and killing most of the children of Maeve. It's not actually stated that they killed Black Annis and Gentle Annie that way, but that's kind of what I've always assumed. Unless you were wondering about more specifics than that?

(I know many spoilers, but this is something it's never occurred to me to ask, so I don't know this one!) :)

Well it's no shock that Titania's evil, shiny children harmed Maeve's. And yes, Luidaeg's many painful memories. (How is it that she so sane after so much loss and others who are younger are so bonkers? Don't get me wrong- love her, glad she isn't bonkers!)

I guess I'm interested in knowing if Eira was responsible somehow.

And I want to know what happened to September. But that's a spoiler for sure. I might as well ask where August is and why, LOL.
