The sixth instalment of the highly praised Toby Daye series. 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, but she can’t help feeling like her world is crumbling around her – and her increasingly reckless behaviour 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. Chelsea is 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. Toby thought the last year was bad. She has no idea.

This was not my favorite in the series, but the romance payoff made It totally worth 4 stars!
Best.Toby Daye.Ever. Sure, that just means it's the best since the last one (which was the best since the one before...and so on). But still, wow. Really wow. This series has entered the terrain of Harry Dresden or Mercy Thompson–why bother writing a proper review? The reader knows it's going to be good, the only question is, how good is this entry–really good or just great?
Action, intrigue, splash of humor, character development, romance...this one has everything. We get more of some old friends we haven't seen in awhile, some characters who were in danger of over-use get scaled back...
couldn't ask for more from this one.
Toby is becoming more and more reckless. Ever since the Saltmist kidnappings, and everything she lost during that time, Toby is out of control. The worst part is, everyone can see it but her. Until Tybalt shows up again and many things become clear to her. She will have to pull herself together because she has another child to find.
When Luna, Rayseline, and Toby were missing, Etienne had to take on a lot more responsibility. When everything became too much for him, he had a secret relationship with a human. He just recently found out that he has a daughter and that she's missing. Chelsea can teleport like her father, but she is much more powerful. She is opening portals to places closed by Oberon himself. She must be found before she destroys Faerie.
These books keep getting better. I loved it!!
Really good, I like the October Daye series. Thank You Seanan McGuire.
