Good points! I skipped the short story.Gravy wrote: ↑23 May 2022, 21:32gali wrote: ↑18 May 2022, 23:51 Hmm, Marcia may be a firstborn as well. Cliff, I am not sure.
I am not sure that Toby is Oberon's daughter, though. Oberon may was drawn to her because she is his grandchild.
Amandine is Oberon's daughter and Toby's mother. Do you think Amandine had relationships with her own father? According to that theory, he is both the father and the grandfather of Toby. I don't think the author will go that far, but time will tell.
We can finish the last one and then move to When Sorrows Come. I will probably start it in a couple of days (once I finish my current book), but you can go ahead and start it.
I had (have) that problem with it as well (eww). I just can't wrap my head around the fact that she's not really any weaker than Amandine. Also! In the last short story, it's said that only Oberon was ever able to bring anyone back from the dead. Which Toby seems to do quite often.
And there is at least one instance of siblings producing offspring (Blind Michael and Acacia are half siblings), so... who knows? Faery seems to work much differently.
I mean, maybe she's actually one of the queens. I just really don't think she's what we've been led to believe.
(While we have nothing concrete saying it, I have been assuming that Oberon had to be different people throughout his self-imposed exile. Mainly because I can't see Officer Thornton just continuing as he was for 500 years. Again, could be completely wrong.)

Turning Quentin into a Banshee turns out to be a good idea.
I am getting tired from all the repetitive elfshot. Aren't you?

They've just seen where they're getting married.
I love the knowes. I love how they listen to her.
Also, I really enjoyed someone acknowledging that she's powerful. Like, we know it, but so many people treat her like she's something lesser. Having it acknowledged that her blood made the King basically drunk? Absolutely priceless.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Lol, I agree. It was irritating that instead of thanking her for saving the king's life, the guard thought she poisoned the king and Toby had to explain her acts to the queen.Gravy wrote: ↑27 May 2022, 21:48 Awesome!

Isn't it odd that Stacy doesn't allow her kids to date, so Cassandra has to hide her relationship with Walter?
I wonder if Chelsea Ames will be Toby's squire at some point. I hope Quentin will stay on. Btw, I didn't like his parents in this book.

I agree. They were annoying.
I'm not sure what's going to happen with Chelsea, but her being Toby's squire would be kind of cool.
Have you looked at the info to the next book?
Also, do you want to move on to Seasonal Fears?
