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.

Anyone else pick upon the next batch of threads that got laid down when Toby asks who Amandine's parents were and gets told that there might be some interesting truths hidden beneath some equally interesting lies?

My money is on Janet from the Tam Lin song. In An Artificial Night, Toby got taught Tam Lin as a children's song and it talks about how Janet broke Maeve's ride, which, in turn, made her go away. Annie also mentions that Oberon prevents evening from "wiping out the competition" in regards to Amandine and her children. Competition for what / for how?

But more than anything? I love Quentin. And more than anything beyond that? I want to see what happens with the Selkies. We were given a year count-down at the end of One Salt Sea. I want to see me some more heartbreak!

and as always, thank you for writing a novel i was so excited to get and read and re-read.

I love the idea that the Tam Lin story will come into Toby's heritage somewhere.
