October Daye is finally something she never expected to be: married. All the trials and turmoils and terrors of a hero's life have done very little to prepare her for the expectation that she will actually share her life with someone else, the good parts and the bad ones alike, not just allow them to dabble around the edges in the things she wants to share. But with an official break from hero duties from the Queen in the Mists, and her family wholly on board with this new version of "normal," she's doing her best to adjust.
It isn't always easy, but she's a hero, right? She's done harder.
Until an old friend and ally turns out to have been an enemy in disguise for this entire time, and October's brief respite turns into a battle for her life, her community, and everything she has ever believed to be true.
The debts of the Broken Ride are coming due, and whether she incurred them or not, she's going to be the one who has to pay.
My Review:
Wow, I just utterly loved this book! I dropped everything to read this book, because this synopsis just had me dying to know what was going to happen! And boy, was it just a fantastic read! I just couldn't put it down-I needed to know!
Seanan McGuire has posted about this on the internet, that every 3 books there's something, and every 4 books, there's a game changing event. And this was the gamechanger, 16 is a multiple of 3 and 4. So we knew that the events of this book were going to be big. And boy, where they!
The hidden enemy? Yeah, that hurt. And to find out all the little details just ground the hurt in even more. But boy, were the stakes high, and so engaging to read! Toby and co. really have their hands full with this. And that ending, oh, that was epic and incredibly evil! It can't end like that-I need more!
Such Dangerous Seas was heartbreaking to read, because it's the story of how the Luidaeg was cursed. We knew she was, the details of the curse, but watching it unfold was pretty devastating. But there was mentions of what's currently going on in the series, so I'm really glad that we got it!
Loved reading these two, and now I'm dying for the next installment! The wait is just going to be pure evil!
