"An Artificial Night" Book Review

« previous entry | next entry »

Yesterday I bought “An Artificial Night” by Campbell Award Winning Author Seanan McGuire. Today I finished the book. It was more than just read-it-in-a-day good; I think it was the best Toby story yet.

It opens with some humor and heart, but (of course) the situation quickly worsens. A threat arises that affects not only The Fae and Changelings, but also Mortals. In order to handle the crisis Toby must act as a knight, as well as being a detective, and even that may not be enough. To accomplish her mission and save those she cares about, she’ll need to learn to accept help from others when it is offered.

Toby is not the only one who faces challenges, tough decisions, and conflicting loyalties. We get to see more (and learn more) of Danny the Bridge Troll, Spike the Rose Goblin, Connor, Lily the Undine, Quentin, Luidaeg, and Luna Torquill Duchess of Shadowed Hills.

A certain King of the Cats may make an appearance as well.

Glad to hear it!

For me, publication day means my wife can actually talk to me about the beta-read. ;)

I cannot wait to hear the squee when our tiara-wearing friend comes home.

For some reason I keep having "they call the win 'tiara'" running through my head. :-)
