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.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to seeing Arden coming into her own and slowly building her household, in future books. It's a tough job, but the novella showed Arden developing the right instincts about finding and nurturing good people.

She really had good instincts all along. Hiding was the right move at the start; lay low, and when the time was right start carefully building support. Nolan ruined that when he brashly went off on his own, and in the end all he succeeded in doing was saddling her with a completely helpless charge. The False Queen was very clever there; if she had killed Nolan that would have probably just pissed Arden off and left her with nothing to lose.
