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.

I just finished it, and I spent the last fifty pages having to stop and breathe, unable to decide if I was going to throw up or tear my face off with my fingernails. The tension was really getting to me. Much blood. So roses. Ack.

The threat of using Toby's blood for stuff was pure genius. And I loved getting to see some of her coterie get their own moments-- Toby's our POV and unique and a bamf in her own right, and a lot of things she has to solve (mostly) herself, but I liked getting to se everyone else's contributions as well. And I felt the book did an excellent job of showing off all the growing everyone's done.

Other than my near-hysteria during the last act, it was a really, really fun read. And now I have to wait a year until the next one. *cries all the tears*
