When Sorrows Come by Seanan McGuire

by 4 Comments

CBR13 Bingo: Flora (there are a number of trees in the background and Toby appears to be holding a rose in her left hand. She also has a belt of roses on her dress) Spoiler warning! This is book 15 (!) in the ongoing October Daye series. So very much not the place to start. There will be spoilers for previous books in the series in this review, although I shall try to avoid any big ones for the contents of this current book. Rosemary […]

CBR Bingo- What does home mean?

Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire

Down among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire

by 1 Comment

This fills the Home square of the CBR Bingo card quite nicely! It’s taken me a long time to get around to reading the Wayward Children series and i actually started with book 2- Down among the sticks and bones. Wayward children is about a school/home for children who have been “taken into fairyland”. There are many lands, all of them different from outs. There is a rough schematic of how these worlds fall relative to each other- between logic and nonsense and virtue and […]

When Sorrows Came by Seanan McGuire

by Leave a Comment

It’s an annual thing now, isn’t it? Me announcing a new disclaimer for reviews in the October Daye series: There will be some spoilers. It can’t be helped. You’ve all been warned multiple tiles now, so you all probably know the risk So it comes to the event that we have all been waiting for: in When Sorrows Came, our protagonist is getting married! Finally! I thought with all the drama seen in the last few books of the series, Toby and Tybalt were never […]

Calculated Risks- Seanan McGuire Does It Again (I love everything she writes and seriously doubt I will ever write a negative review about one of her books. #biased)

Calculated Risks by Seanan McGuire

by Leave a Comment

I’ve got another Seanan McGuire for y’all. This one is the latest installment of her Incryptid series. The basic premise of the Incryptid books is- what if all the urban legends and myths about creatures and magic were real? What if there was an entire cryptid community living under the noses of humanity? And what if there was an order devoted to wiping those creatures out- sentient or no, peaceful or no? And what if a family broke away from that order and devoted themselves […]

Gimme some skin

The Unkindest Tide by Seanan McGuire

by Leave a Comment

It’s pretty much impossible for me not to enjoy a Toby Daye book – they’ve become my comfort blanket whenever I need to disappear from the real world for a little while and I’ve not yet been disappointed. The Unkindest Tide – the 13th outing for Toby –  is no different. Hundreds of years ago the Roane, children of the Luidaeg, were slaughtered by the Selkies who took their skins for their own. While the Selkies have long known that the Luidaeg will one day […]

My Little Pony meets Gulliver’s Travels

Across the Green Grass Fields by Seanan McGuire

by Leave a Comment

I think that Across the Green Grass Fields, the sixth Wayward Children novella, might be the first fully stand-alone story set in the same world as the previous six. This had so much potential and the world that Regan wanders into is fascinating. Problem is that there is so little plot, not much world or character development, and the whole thing feels kind of rushed. The basic premise is still there; not long after a major personal trauma the protagonist finds a door to a […]
