A RED-ROSE CHAIN open thread!

To celebrate the release of A Red-Rose Chain, 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.

Oof, tunnel vision indeed! I didn't even think about Eira, though she at least is slightly less accessible than Raysel at the moment.

And Simon was elf-shot too.... Hmm, this is getting more interesting by the minute. And another year yet to the next book. Augh.

And I'm still holding my breath for the next bit of Selkies

For all of my "when the heck do we find out what's with the selkies" whining (I admit it, I'm Queen Whiner of the Western Hemisphere), I was shocked that oh, they haven't QUITE hit the deadline yet?!?

I think, if you count back, they've hit the deadline but the Luidaeg hasn't yet got round to calling in the debt, as it were...

Personally I try not to get hung up on dates and timelines in a series. It's the story as a whole that matters, not every little detail, or any errors that might slip through. However, if we really need an explanation for why the Luidaeg has yet to collect on the bill, I think there's a perfectly good one in One Salt Sea. Just look at the last two words of the book.

Everything changes.

I believe you're correct. And it's not like the Selkies themselves are gonna remind her. :)
