It occurs to me I never put up an open book thread for A Star Shall Fall. So, as I beat my head against this bloody short story, feel free to comment here with any questions you wanted to ask or observations you wanted to share. Spoilers for this book are, of course, a given; there may also be spoilers for Midnight Never Come and In Ashes Lie (or for that matter the short stories), so be warned.

(I may also answer questions about With Fate Conspire, but only if I feel like it. No, I won't tell you how it ends. Or whether your favorite character is going to die.)

I did notice that after Lune got rescued, the Court had no freaking ideas left for what to do with the dragon. I did not expect that the idea that was quickly thought up to kill the dragon was going to get Galen killed.

You made me cry, dammit.

Even though when I was earlier in the novel I was feeling a bit sad that Galen wasn't going to be around for the next book, with the time between books being so huge he'd be dead anyway.

. . . it's probably bad of me that I respond to "You made me cry" with a little fist-pump of victory, isn't it?

And yet I can't bring myself to apologize. :-)

Anyway, I hope the protagonists of With Fate Conspire are interesting enough in their own right to make up for the loss of Galen.
