Night and Silence by Seanan McGuire

I’ve become rather addicted to the Toby Daye series, so it’s been super frustrating to me that the UK Kindle release dates seem to be so behind which inevitably leads to me giving in before the time is up and breaking the promise I may not to bring more physical books into the house. But it’s been worth it – Toby always helps to bring back my reading mojo when I need it most. Night & Silence is the twelfth outing for Toby, and we […]

I’ve been trying and failing to get my hands on a copy of this on my Kindle for the longest time, but it seems that you can’t do so in the UK for love nor money, so in the end I had to smuggle the paperback into the house (since my book collection hit the double hundreds and we ran out of shelving space, I promised I wouldn’t buy any more. But let’s face it, promises mean nothing in the face of a serious series […]

I personally think that a hundred years’ sleep sounds pretty fantastic…

And so here we are – with Once Broken Faith I’ve now reached the limit of the Toby Daye series as published so far – but thankfully, not for long as The Brightest Fell comes out next week and like a good addict I will very definitely be downloading on the day of release. Following the world-changing events of A Red-Rose Chain, where a cure for elf-shot was discovered, High King Sollys has shown up in the Kingdom of the Mists and called a conclave, […]

Hurry up and write more, please!

That is, until someone shoots her seneschal full of elf-shot – a declaration of war from […]

Another belting entry in the Toby Daye series, The Winter Long sees Toby hit with a new threat – in the form of those she’d thought she’d already left in her past. First up comes Simon Torquill –identical twin to Toby’s liege, Sylvester, and the man who turned her into a fish for 14 years before the series began –  appearing on her doorstep, trying to apologise, giving veiled warnings of doom and spilling her family secrets (chiefly, that he’s her step-dad, something that Amandine […]

“Fruits which that unknown orchard bore; She suck’d until her lips were sore; Then flung the emptied rinds away, But gather’d up one kernel stone, And knew not was it night or day”

In Toby’s world, it’s been a few months since the events of Ashes of Honor, and things are going well – especially in her newly romantic relationship with Tybalt. So, of course, something HAS to come along to upset the apple-cart. This time, that something is goblin fruit. A druggy pleasure of the purebloods, goblin fruit is incredibly addictive to changelings and deadly to humans. With changelings now starting to turn up dead, Toby takes the problem to the Queen of the Mists….only to discover […]
