MAGIC FOR NOTHING open thread.

To celebrate the release of Magic For Nothing, 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.

Any further infiltration would have meant Annie needing to kill for the Covenant. She wouldn't have come back from that.

Well, I guess at some point I was expecting the kind of story in which the protagonist is caught in a nightmare of steadily escalating moral dilemmas, trying to weigh quantities of evil against each other. What kinds of evil would she allow to happen or even commit in order to prevent worse? But, thinking of it, I see that's not the kind of story you want to tell in this series, which is perfectly fine. It's not always good entertainment to just keep pouring buckets of torment and misery on your protagonist's head.

But sometimes it is. Thinking of the Coen Brothers' "A Serious Man".
