But the promise for the series is there (obviously, since they published so many more of them). And McGuire's prose sometimes really does rise up to grab me, even in otherwise unremarkable material. So I will probably get the next in the series, at some point in time. [Audiobook note: Mary Robinette Kowal is always good to listen to.] keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Toby Daye--a half-human, half-fae changeling--has been an outsider from birth. After getting burned by both sides of her heritage, Toby has denied the fae world, retreating to a "normal" life. Unfortunately for her, the fae world has other ideas. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The twists were better, (though I knew something was up with the siblings immediately; I wasn't surprised by what they turned out to be) and better spaced. I read this book over the space of a day, just like I did the first one, but this one held me much better.
To say that I like them is easy; I do. I think they can be better, maybe. But so far they're pretty good. Enjoyable, if not earth-breaking fiction, but really-- not a lot of writers DO earth-breaking fiction. Either way, after the first I bought the next three in the series and over my sick-day at home, read the entirety of the second book. I am currently headed to bed where my husband is reading the first Toby Daye novel, and I'm considering cracking open the third.
But as I have an 8am class, that's probably unwise. Those books tend to sneak up on you. I kept trying to find a good place to set it down and do other things, but the mystery did keep niggling at me. I had part of it, but I needed the rest.
A good sign. I see only room for improvement, and have hopes that the next two can reach a five start status. ( )
