A little late to the party, but I've just recently discovered this series: it drew me in so deeply I'm reading the books back-to-back, something I rarely do because I always need a breather between installments. The main attraction (besides the story and the characters) comes from the well-balanced blend of drama and humor: it's not an easy one to achieve, but McGuire does it very well
( ... )
My guess is that Gillian's loss (even though less... permanent) will weigh more heavily on Toby's future: the girl's choice did not surprise me, on the contrary I would have felt somewhat puzzled if she's opted for the fae world. Of course I'm also certain that this is not the last we saw of her.
Great observation. Yeah, I didn't see her choosing the fae world. I kind of wanted it when I read the scene originally, because of all the drama it would cause, but it wouldn't have made a whole lot of sense. But what does make sense is the idea that Toby's daughter could be targeted again. :-/
Have you tried any of McGuire's other work? Yes. I've first encountered her as Mira Grant with the Newsflesh Trilogy - I went through those books at warp speed. I almost said "I devoured them", but given the subject matter it seemed somehow... inappropriate *g* Now I have the first Incryptid novel at the top of the reading list as soon as I finish Ashes of Honor.
