Lily, Lady of the Tea Gardens, has been struck down by a mysterious, seemingly impossible illness, leaving her fiefdom undefended.

I really liked this book. The pattern of the story felt more like the first book in the series, Rosemary & Rue. Toby was much more likeable in this book than the first. It was also nice to get SOME answers to a few of the questions floating around in the series. That led of course to more questions, but it was still very satisfying.
After a bumpy start, at some point, I really got into these books. I accept October for who she is ... a bad detective with a big heart, and an inability to see the sexy cat man wants her.
Late Eclipses started Toby down a new path in terms of learning about her identity, and she has some new roads open to her, and I want to see what happens.
These books are excellent for my commute to work, and for my walks. I'm audiobooking them, they are read by Mary Robinette Kowal who is one of my favourite writers and a fantastic narrator.
October's friend Lily is really sick. Undines don't get sick. Toby must try to figure out what is wrong with her before it's too late. Also, rumor has it that Oleander is back. Coincidence? Probably not. And, Toby has been summoned by the Queen. This book was soooo good! I think this series just keeps getting better.
