better late than never?

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.

So this is a little late, but I just finished all three of the current Onyx Court books in a week's reading binge. (To be perfectly honest, I'd tried reading Midnight Never Come a while ago, and couldn't get into it... but sometimes that happens, and I try again later, and suddenly I'm purchasing the other two books in the series and having reading binges....)

This may have been asked in a previous post, but it's driving me rather more batty than it should:

How do you pronounce Lune?

Loon, silent E?
Loonay?
Luna, treating the E as an A?

It's probably simple and I'm probably making too much of it, but it really has been driving me a little nuts. o.o

Other than that, ffffff, Galen, and Delphia. Dangit. Just... the whole thing. OH OH MY GODS DR. ANDREWS WHAT DID YOU DOOOO???? I mean, I was sort of expecting it since the moment he killed the salamandar, but that didn't take any power away from the reveal of the depths of his crimes. Podder. D:

So now I'm going to just sit here and try to be nice and patient until With Fate Conspire comes out. ::twiddles thumbs::

The Riddle?!

I have a perhaps bad habit of saving books I think I'll really enjoy for when I feel down, I suffer from severe depressive, so I've only just started reading 'A Star Shall Fall'. More precisely part 6. Now The Riddle, I have tried looking this up, even to the point of searching for certain words in an anthology of The Gentleman's Magazine and though I can find references to Elizabeth Carter and 'The Riddle,' I can't find anything that matches or helps me solve it. I just want to know the answer because it's driving me mad, in a good way. I think - and perhaps quite aptly given the subject matter - that the answer is either fire or time. Help? Also really enjoying the book as I hoped I would, though 'With Fate Conspire' is now staring banefully from my special cordoned off 'to read' pile.
