While the romance ends in tragedy, there’s an opportunity for a new chapter in Toby’s love life to unfold in the future. There’s a development in Toby’s romantic life that I wasn’t crazy about, but that’s probably just because I’m on a different ship altogether. This series continues strong, with deeper emotional tolls related to Toby’s quest. There’s action, heroism, and sacrifice - just what we expect from Toby. My thoughts: October (Toby) can’t have an uneventful life for long, so naturally she gets pulled into an impending war between the kingdoms of land and undersea. When Faerie goes to war, not everyone will walk away. As the battle grows more and more personal, one thing is chillingly clear. But someone is determined to stop her-and whoever it is isn’t playing by Oberon’s Laws. Toby’s search will take her from the streets of San Francisco to the lands beneath the waves.

She’ll need all her tricks and the help of her allies if she wants to make it through this in one piece. To prevent a war between land and sea, Toby must not only find the missing boys, but also prove that the Queen of the Mists was not behind their abduction. Someone has kidnapped the sons of the Duchess Dianda Lorden, regent of the Undersea Duchy of Saltmist. October “Toby” Daye is finally doing all right-and that inevitably means it’s time for things to take a turn for the worse. Warning: Spoilers ahead! I can’t possibly talk about these books without referring to some plot elements, and since this is an ongoing series, it’ll be impossible to avoid spoilers for earlier works. In this series wrap-up, I’ll include the synopsis for each book or story, plus a few thoughts of my own. Over the past week or so, I’ve read three more novels in the series, plus four pieces of shorter fiction that add to the series overall and provide some backstory for beloved characters. I’ve fallen hopelessly under the spell of this spectacular urban fantasy series, and there’s no escape for me! At this point, I’ll just have to keep moving forward until I’ve read them all - and then I can join the legions of fans waiting for the next book in the series to be released. October Daye, the character, and October Daye, the series, both keep improving with each passing book.
