Re: October Daye series Read-a-long
Love love love Toby and Tybalt!!! I like how honest and mature they are about how they feel about each other. It’s so refreshing and fills me with such joy! Now, let’s hope they stay that way and their relationship doesn’t become one of those where they constantly break up and get back together.
How perfect that Chelsea gets both parents and perhaps there is still love between the two?
I overall really liked it. I could use less of those moments of joking and laughing under dangerous situations, but everything else was great!
I’m curious to see what’s going to happen with Riordan in Annwn and if we’ll see her again!

I also loved that Toby and Tybalt are finally a couple! I have been waiting for it since the beginning of the series! They are a great team. I also love that in each book we are introduced to a different aspect of the Faerie world. I wonder how Tybalt will deal with his political troubles.hsimone wrote: ↑09 Jul 2021, 13:23 So I just finished and I really enjoyed it!

I loved the book and rated it 4/4 stars. I hope the next book will not deal with missing kids again, though. It can be tiring.

They are a great team! Love them together! I also think the author does a great job in introducing a different of the Faerie world well. It’ll definitely be interesting to see how Tybalt deals with his political troubles. He was so gracious and understanding toward Raj that I hope he can be king for a while. I also hope when Raj transitions to being a king that the rules change and Tybalt can still live while Raj rules.gali wrote: ↑10 Jul 2021, 00:49I also loved that Toby and Tybalt are finally a couple!

I was debating whether I would give it a 3 or 4 stars. Even though I like how Chelsea chose differently than Toby’s daughter, I also find the theme of missing children tiring. By the way, remember that cute giant creature that was on top of Toby’s car and was let out by accident by Chelsea’s powers? Whatever happened to him? Was he ever returned back home or is he still with Sylvester?
By the way, Middlegame finally came for me, so we can start this one and take a break from Toby’s world if you’d like.

Great! We can start it today if you like. I opened a thread for the book.

I keep meaning to catch up, but I've been trying to feed my brain whatever it demands. I'm still slumping, but less than before (yay!). I've even been able to read more than one book at a time again, which has been beyond me for some time.
Anyway, I can participate without being caught up, and just catch up when my brain gives me a break.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Still have a while to go, but I'm working on it.
Also, I'm planning on opening a year-long reading record, for the new year, to help me keep on track with my goal to read at least one chapter a day. (My hopes are that one will lead to more, as I can read once I actually pick up the book.)
Anyway, still on One Salt Sea. Have to get through that and Ashes of Honor to be caught up?
I don't think you two read past that, did you?

Yes, you just have to go through those two books to be caught up. I didn't start book # 7 yet.

On to Ashes of Honor.
There are some things in this book (namely, Mary, the Roane) that I am marking to come back to.
Did you read the Luigaed story, "In Sea-Salt Tears"?
