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 need to go back and sit with this when my house isn't being set up for a zen intensive and I'm not finishing a series of important simulations. (It was that or wait until Sunday. Though I got tonight off unexpectedly.) Plenty of plot, great drama, some long term plot breadcrumbs...

What tore me up the most was Sylvester. It's so complicated and messed up, and it points out a few horribly lonely spots I didn't even know I had... ack.

(I was less struck by vast amounts of peril - and it was vast, and it struck - than my Toby's realization that was was willing to give up her mortality for either Quentin or Tybalt. Because that seems like something that is unlikely to go away unless they both predecease her. Which, admittedly, might be more likely in her company. There might be some kind of common theme here about things that ring true - hard choices and painful things, check.)

Toby seems to have realized that at some point in time, she is going to have to give up her remaining humanity to save her life, or wait until elf-shot is over, or some other Incident will happen to cause her to make that decision. I'm surprised it hasn't already happened after the whole goblin fruit thing, actually.
