ONCE BROKEN FAITH open thread!

To celebrate the release of Once Broken Faith, 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.

Where else, but a Seanan McGuire book would we find weaponised fairy rings? :-)

And what was that the Luidaeg said to Toby? "You have to take care of yourself. Replacing you would take a long time, and frankly, I don't want to go to the trouble."

What have you and the Luidaeg got in store for poor Toby?

I'm curious, though, as to how two entirely separate sets of rulers, from different bits of the country, hit on using exactly the same method that no one in Toby's côterie twigged, even the Luidaeg. Is there an éminence grise (or maybe blanche) out there pulling strings, or was Michel just very, very bright? He didn't give that impression elsewhere...

Also: poor, poor barrow wights :-(

My reading of what Michel did was "knock on the door", not "utilise fairy rings". But I may have missed something.

Just knocked on the door, or barged in, I should think because Diandra did see him. The fairy ring attacks didn't let the victims see who it was.

Ah, I must have mis-read it. I have very little brain most of the time at the moment. Which is a shame, because I spent all book waiting for that to be resolved ;-)

It was not at all clear until the dream visit. And even then it wasn't blindingly clear.

That's something else to wait on for more and more books.

I reasonably assumed it was something involving fighting Eira, but...maybe not that that's happened.
