So I have literally been sitting on this link for more than a year. It's been public that whole time: this isn't me doing the ultimate procrastination tango. It's just that I kept getting distracted, and I haven't been as awesome about non-checklist blogging as I've wanted to be. It feels like it's one of those things that has fallen by the

What a smashing and accurate review of the series. And yes, so very glad that the rape trope (cannot even believe that is a thing) is something I will ever have to deal with in your books. Thank you.

I sometimes think I may have a survivor story in me, because of my own past. But if I decide it needs to be written, it will be tagged and flagged to hell and back.

Thank you for coming along.

One thing about the October Daye series* is that it feels like a good form of serialization. Each book brings things to a good closure, while making it clear that there is an overall arc, both in characters and in ongoing mysteries and conflicts.

Like, if this most recent one was THE last one, I'd be sad, but not tearing the wallpaper sad that I would have been if, say, the Newsflesh series hadn't gotten Blackout. Which is a better way to handle a longer series, since it is a much longer wait until the payoff of The Concluding Book.

* And the InCryptid series now that some books have come out and we know more about the state of the world.
