ONCE BROKEN FAITH open thread!

[seanan_mcguire]

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

It's finally the various spawns' bedtimes, and I am free to read! Yaaaaay!

It dropped early on my Nook device, so I started reading at 10pm last night. I woke up at 5am with my tablet leaning against my face, rolled over and went back to sleep, woke up and finished it. I just COULD NOT STOP READING!

Highlights for me include:

"Slumber" party. The thought of Dean watching The Little Mermaid and Dianda's reaction to that...I wish we could see it.

Quentin waking up to the sound/smell of pancakes. That was priceless.

Toby coming to the realization that while she can die...it's not necessarily permanent. And poor Jin. Poor, poor Jin having to be the medic for heroes.

I'll give it a second read here in a bit. Catch those little things I inevitably missed the first time through. As usual, so much love for these books, and Toby would definitely murder Seanan, slowly, if she ever made it off the page.

Dianda's reaction to the Little Mermaid

Might I suggest a web exclusive (very) short story on the subject of Dean's discussion with Dianda on the subject of The Little Mermaid, preferably with the presentation of appropriately themed merchandise?

A figurine of Dianda slapping Toby round the face with her tail, possibly? With moving tail on an elastic from a button in the base :-)

Oh seconded! That would be hilarious! Also, then, Dianda's response the next time she sees Toby.

I'm only a few chapters in but...

After seeing you tweeting so much about that (ADORABLE) axolotl Kickstarter the other day I was beyond amused when the Luidaeg mentioned turning all the teenagers into axolotls.

I WANT FANART of the axolotl slumber party! Please? Somebody??

[dragonsong]

I had the flash last night that you can TOTALLY cast the teens as the different axolotl pins.

Albino - Karen (white hair!)
Golden - Quentin (bronze hair, close)
Melanistic - Chelsea
Chimera - Dean (He's mixed blood!)
Halloween - Raj (kitty = halloween)

And then of course the Luidaeg gets to be Fairy. *nods*

VERY happy book day! I just ordered 'Once Broken Faith' because I'd managed to be otherwise oblivious to the new Toby book, until I read your LJ post. I mean, I have 'Feedback' & 'Magic for Nothing' already pre-ordered, but biffed on Toby.

THANK YOU for letting me [and others] know that there was another wild Toby to be obtained! [You are super-effective!]

I seriously believed he might die, there. Like, it was totally written as though this could be the tremendously affecting death scene. I was very glad for Toby's sake that it was not.

Seanan turned Toby into a FISH for 14 years.
