Loading... Ashes of Honorby Seanan McGuire
None. I cheated a little. I've yet to receive books four and five through inter-library loan, but I couldn't bear not to continue dear Toby's adventures. Though I've ruined the plots for the two previous books, I was not disappointed in the slightest bit by what went down in this book. I don't want to spoil anything for you Toby Daye newbies, but in the words of the fabulous band Treetop Flyers, "It's about time." ( )*Happy sigh* I just finished this book, and have a bit of a bookhangover as a result. It drew me in, and hasn't let me go even at the last page. 5s all across the board. I love how the characters are always consistent, yet can surprise me even still. The only problem? I now want the next book to come out sooner! If I didn't know that Seanan already writes at inhuman speeds, i'd be pleading for her to write faster. As is, very much happy, very much looking forward to the next ones, and very, very glad this series continues well past this point. Seanan may finally have topped my favourite book in this series. Cuttimg for spoilers because MY OTP IS CANON AND NOTHING HURTS. Better extended review to come later. ;) First read September 2012; 2nd reading December 2012; 3rd reading March 2013. This book made me want to go back and re-read the whole series. I had been waiting for what felt like forever for this book and then I devoured the whole thing in just about a day, it was that good. This is my favorite of the October Daye books, and not just because of Tybalt. There's something about this book that really just grabbed and made me not want to let go (ever!). I think it was the way Toby deals with the aftermath of what happened in One Salt Sea along with her desire to die (partly resulting in the events of the previous books). There's darkness and death, but there are people in Toby's life who love her and that's part of what makes this book (and the others) so good. I loved Ashes of Honor -- it was worth the wait. no reviews | add a review
No descriptions found. "It's been almost a year since October "Toby" Daye averted a war, gave up a county, and suffered personal losses that have left her wishing for a good day's sleep. She's tried to focus on her responsibilities-training Quentin, upholding her position as Sylvester's knight, and paying the bills-but she can't help feeling like her world is crumbling around her, and her increasingly reckless behavior is beginning to worry even her staunchest supporters. To make matters worse, Toby's just been asked to find another missing child...only this time it's the changeling daughter of her fellow knight, Etienne, who didn't even know he was a father until the girl went missing. Her name is Chelsea. She's a teleporter, like her father. She's also the kind of changeling the old stories warn about, the ones with all the strength and none of the control. She's opening doors that were never meant to be opened, releasing dangers that were sealed away centuries before-and there's a good chance she could destroy Faerie if she isn't stopped. Now Toby must find Chelsea before time runs out, racing against an unknown deadline and through unknown worlds as she and her allies try to avert disaster. But danger is also stirring in the Court of Cats, and Tybalt may need Toby's help with the biggest challenge he's ever faced."--P. [4] of cover.… (more) |
