Publisher's Summary:
October Toby Daye is finally doing all right. Shes settling into her new role as the Countess of Goldengreen; shes actually dating again; shes even agreed to take on Quentin as her official squire. Life is looking up all around - and that inevitably means its time for things to take a turn for the worse.
Someone has kidnapped the sons of Duchess Dianda Lorden, regent of the Undersea Duchy of Saltmist. To prevent a war between land and sea, Toby must not only find the missing boys, but also prove that the Queen of the Mists was not behind their abduction. Shell need all her tricks and the help of all her allies if she wants to make it through this in one piece.
Tobys search will take her from the streets of San Francisco to the lands beneath the waves, and her deadline is firm: she must find the boys in three days time, or all of the Mists will pay the price. But someone is determined to stop her - and whoever it is isnt playing by Oberons Laws....
As the battle grows more and more personal, one thing is chillingly clear. When Faerie goes to war, not everyone will walk away.
Members Reviews:
The best October Daye book so far
Funny glorious and tragic, Seanan Mcguire is improving with every book (and they didn't start out too bad either).
Toby is a hero in every sense of the word and her friends are wonderful characters with a great deal of depth.
Love October Daye novels!
As usual, Seanan McGuire has come through once again. Wonderful story line, great narration, which to me will make or break a book, and really glad to think that the King of Cats is gonna have a chance with Toby...
I would have given this book a 5 star rating, but felt that Toby's character needs a bit of censoring in this one. I had always enjoyed how the author conveyed the thoughts of her characters without going through the gammet of the usual foul language. This was the only downside in the story. Instead of the inventive way she had always used before, I was not well pleased to have to listen to the 'F' word so often.
Fantastic story telling and narration
Ms. McGuire's world building is so rich and imaginative that this series is one of my favorites. The characters are delightfully quirky.
I have loved the stories in print, but Mary Robinette Kowal does a masterful job of bringing the characters to life.
Simply fantastic.
Funny and sad and well worth the journey
My personal rating for this book: PG
My favorite character for this book: the Luidaeg (pronounced Lushack by the narrator)
This has been one of my favorites so far. We are finally finding out just what Toby can do and just who she is. We find out more about May. Tybalt is still a major force (really liking Tybalt), and Toby's relationship with Quentin is even better.
She's still ticking off the queen, but it's more intentional now. Her friends are her strength, and she's finally willing to face that. Some parts of the book are so funny (the Luidaeg) that I laughed out loud, but the plot scheme is a dark one [*** SPOILER! *** kidnapping *** UNSPOILER! ***].
The ending is bitter sweet, and while I won't spoil it, I will say that tissues are warranted this time.
If you've read my reviews for the previous books, you know that I have been gradually warming to the narrator (and the narrator has been gradually improving).
