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 can't imagine Toby in a real wedding with bunches of guests. My sides are aching with laughter just thinking about it. But her many friends will riot if there is a Fae elopement. And I'll join them.

May would never stand for a gownless, non-ostentatious event; she and Jazz and dozens of other Fae with similar cultural biases will just whisk her away, and before she can catch her breath (or start bleeding), she'll be in the midst of a spectacle that will make Arden's coronation look like an ice-cream social.

Also, what better way to drag Amandine back into the picture - how could she resist being the Mother Of The Bride? :-)

Most Fae seem to be drama queens/kings/whatevers to some degree, and Amandine is one of the more dramatic ones - probably because she's crazy. (If she were human, she might be diagnosed as having Histrionic Personality Disorder.) Rather than Toby being "Bridezilla", Amandine would be "Mother-Of-The-Bride-Zilla" - and I've met a few. Or rather she'd try to be, but every female Fae from Quentin's mother to Mags the Librarian to the Luidaeg would, um, prevent her from spoiling Toby's marriage.

Gods, I can hardly wait!
