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.

Mm, yes, a lot of my pet theories involve Amandine's mother being human, so I see where you're coming from, here. Then again, another of my pet theories is that Amandine might have been ambivalent about her own human heritage and so deliberately purged it. If she had (this is "if" upon "if", I know), then I don't know if she'd have passed it on to her daughter or not.

My extra-wild theory is that this is where the night-haunts come from. They're Amandine's purged mortality, little snippets of Firstborn death out to eat everyone and then die themselves, because Dochas Sidhe are what you get when Oberon breeds with a mortal: blood and death. Muahaha. Or something.

If I remember correctly, didn't the Luidaeg say that the night haunts ate their mother due to their hunger for fae flesh?

Although the "purged mortality" bit is a really cool idea - falls in line with the Undines being Maeve's tears in my mind.
