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.

I've reasonably been assuming that's the goal of the whole Selkie thing after all: Toby is going to make everyone with a skin a Roane in full.

This book mentioned that the original Roane murderers (and thus presumably their descendants) were merlins, so they're a little magic on their own at least?

Sometime I do want to hear more about merlins and how that works.

Re: the first Selkies being merlins - the Luidaeg mentions that merlins were able to use fairy rings to catch full fae. I'm thinking there's a VERY GOOD reason she forgot about fairy rings as a tool. She doesn't really want to hold on to the details of making Selkies.

Oooh, yeah. It did seem weird that the Luidaeg *wouldn't* know something like that.
