Spoiler warning! This is book 11 in the October Daye series, and because of this it is impossible for me to review this book without revealing spoilers for some of the earlier books. If you want to start at the beginning, the first book is Rosemary and Rue. If you’re not entirely caught up, proceed at your own risk. When the biggest of October “Toby” Daye’s worries is whether she’s going to be forced to sing karaoke during her bachelorette party, it’s safe to say that things are so uncharacteristically […]
Shakespeare knew the Fae
After intending to participate in CBR for years and years, I finally decided to stop intending and start doing. Part of my “intending but not doing” problem is that it takes me forever to actually write something. I can talk and wave my hands with no problem, but writing an email, forum post or comment takes hours of revisions and second guessing. In the hope that I’ll finally start to get over this fear, here I am. I decided to start out easy, with a […]
Out, Out, Brief Candle
This is book 10 in the October Daye series, and as Malin said in her review don’t start here. However, do start the series so you can get here. I think this might be my favorite of the October Daye books, it’s pretty high up in my estimation if it’s not the most favorite. I’m wavering between 4.5 and 5 stars on this one, and I can’t quite make up my mind. It is hard to discuss this book, and it’s plot, without revealing major […]
For trust not him that hath once broken faith
This is book ten in an ongoing series, and as such, REALLY not the place to start. While my review may not have too many spoilers about earlier books in the series, there is a whole lot of history in the books before that is required for this book to be fully satisfying to a reader. Start at the beginning with Rosemary and Rue. After changeling knight and sometime champion of the realm, October “Toby” Daye’s adventures in the Kingdom of the Silences, there is […]
All the World’s a Stage and Quentin only a Squire.
Full of Briars is a novella set in the world of October Daye featuring Toby’s squire Quentin Sollys. It’s a quick, fun, light peak into the world building that McGuire has done for these novels and for that I appreciate it. However, there’s not much to it beyond that. This short novella is set between Chimes at Midnight and The Winter Long (books 7 and 8 of the series) and thus will contain spoilers for just about everything previous. It concerns the revelation of Quentin’s parentage […]
In which McGuire introduces a whole new faerie kingdom Toby can be nearly killed in
This is book 9 in the October Daye series. Standard disclaimers about spoilers if you’re not caught up. Book one, Rosemary and Rue, is the place to start if this series is entirely new to you. It’s also the September 2015 pick for the Vaginal Fantasy book club. Just as October “Toby” Daye, changeling knight and hero of multiple faerie kingdoms seems to be catching a break, having things go her way for a change, there are unexpected developments in the court of queen Arden […]
