So I reviewed the first in this series and enjoyed it pretty much, even though there were some uneven parts. For some reason I didn't feel compelled to pick up the second in the series immediately and just forgot about it, but people kept recommending it to me so I went and ordered the second on kindle, or so I thought. I actually accidentally purchased this one, #5, and I have to say I regret not keeping up with the series, it was QUITE enjoyable! It's done well and the Faerie world is very interesting, and some REALLY dramatic things happen in this book (that mean I have to go back and read 2-4!) I really like Toby as a main character because she's not just a cliched badass, and I definitely was sucked in to the dramatic twists in this book.
Now I want the next one nooooow!

I second Ritesh's question because you also had a tweet about spending time to read to-do list tips and not actually making the to-do list lol, so. Hm.
I really do hope you get a chance to go back and catch up with books 2-4. This series is one of my favorite UF series. One big reason is that I love the exploration of the theme of what it means to be a hero(ine) and an honorable knight in service. I think a lot of UF gets sort of caught up with the kick ass part of the heroine, which is always a fun read, but sometimes forgets there's more to being a "hero(ine)" than just kicking ass.
Of course, it also doesn't hurt that there's an awesome foil for Toby, in the character of Tybalt.
I just finished One Salt Sea tonight (I listen the to audiobooks, which are excellently read by Mary Robinette Kowall) and the series just keeps getting better and better!
Also, if you enjoy post-apocalyptic reads, Seanan McGuire's Feed (written as Mira Grant) also rocks.

Yeah I ordered #2, I LOVE TYBALT!
everyone loves Tybalt, how could you not!

Tybalt's awesome.
Felicia to play Georgia Mason! (Or Toby Daye!)
This whole series just rocks!
The first and second books are no indication of what happens from the 4th on. (I skipped the 3rd, impatient for it to get awesome). Seanan MecQuire is a better author with each installment and its really cool to watch her coming into her own through the books. Enjoy!
How do you find the time to do so much and still read so many books? I am in awe!
