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 love love love love Walther - even if I was scared you were setting him up to be a villian when we first met him - and so to have him be central in this book made me swoon.

(And his reveal was perfect, and you're awesome.)

Also, QUENTIN AND DEAN OMG I AM DYING OF CUTE.

This was an amazing, lovely, maze of a book, and as everyone else says, it leaves more questions than before, but they're good questions. I told my wife this morning that there are lots of long term series that I've burnt out on - either the characters get so much larger than life that there's just no way (I'm looking at you, Patricia Cornwell), or the characters never grow or change and keep doing the same stupid shit over and over (hi, Sue Grafton). Your characters stay familiar and grow at the same time - just like regular people, go figure - and that makes reading your books continue to be a pleasure.
