:D :D

I loved seeing more of the character of Etienne, that he got more depth. And I ship Quentin and Raj. :D (Hoping the next book goes more in to Quentin's story? Yes? :D) I loved seeing more of the places that were locked away, too... fascinating. I love that sort of thing. This felt like it was much more of a character driven book - exploring Toby's relationships to the people around her and her changing view of herself, which was nice to see. It was nice to have the world continue to develop and build around her, and the depth being added to even people she started off disliking.

The only thing that bugged me was the wish we hadn't skipped forward in time so immediately - I'd have liked to see maybe even just a chapter dedicated to the year that had past and Toby's journey through it - but that was my only nitpick, really. Mainly because I'd known for about four books that Tybalt/Toby was going to happen, and having the year missing meant it felt a bit too soon.

I love the world. Is it next September yet?

And I ship Quentin and Raj. :D

Me too :D I can't think of any good names for this ship, though. Qaj? Rentin?

[ironed_orchid]

Rantin? Quenaj?

I am laughing far too hard at this.

Love, love, love, love it! Ashes of Honor is easily my favourite in the series. Now for the Canadian folk band song... my best guess would be Great Big Sea's Lukey. We also need to learn more about Quentin. I'm very happy with the Toby-Tybalt relationship-like thing too.

Great Big Sea came to mind immediately when I read that! ^_^

[amazon_syren]

I was assuming Great Big Sea as well. :-)

I just downloaded the sample from i books:) now I have to decide where I am going to buy the full version e-book. I had forgotten it was coming out so early in september, what a pleasant surprise.

I've been buying my DRM ebooks (I don't buy Kindle DRM ebooks) from www.diesel-ebooks.com. I can then read them on any Adobe digital supported ereader. And Diesel developed one Adobe digital ereader that can read all epubs and pdfs. They even have an app for the iphone/ipad so I can read them there without having to download several ereaders. I don't even have ibooks enabled on my ipad.

replying to my own comment:) I bought the full thing through i books and I'm reading it slowly, savoring it. I love this series so much:)

[smoooom]

I haven't finished yet. School and all that, but I intend on finishing tonight, so far though, I'm really pleased, LOVE the Tybalt twist, but not surprised some thing was going on for a long time.

[seanan_mcguire]

Yay!

"Just this once, everybody lives!"

I loved Li Qin and the more Tybalt part so much that I am okay with waiting another book to find out more about the selkie/roane story and to see Quentin's parents. Well, sort of okay. Ish.

Er... I'm a bit concerned about Officer Stalker's chances at survival, I have to admit.

[ironed_orchid]

I totally expect him to turn up 2-3 books from now. Although how is going to be interesting.

I hope everyone's okay, 'cause I'm not one for fast answers!
