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.

The Luidaeg might have counted on the Cait Sidhe to not care, since, at least based on Tybalt, most of them think the Divided Courts' politics is pretty damn messed up and no respectable cat would get involved with it by choice.

More than that, from the various comments Tybalt has made regarding Gilad, it sounds like he at least respected him, and perhaps even considered him a friend. As to spies from other kingdoms, why would they be in the Mists looking for its missing princess? Silences would be the only kingdom that had any interest in finding Arden and Nolan, and they'd most likely figure she had fled the kingdom -- because, you know, crazy queen wants you dead is a powerful motivation to relocate -- and since Silences was a puppet government, the wards would probably work against its spies too. The wards were there to protect her from the people she had to fear, to keep her alive until someday, someone -- you know, a hero -- would come along and help her reclaim her birthright.
