A Killling Frosts, by Seanan McGuire
A Killing Frost by Seanan McGuireMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Big McGuire and October Daye fan here.
Book 14, of the ongoing saga of October Daye, knight, detective, beloved of Tybalt, King of the Cats (well, one kingdom of Cait Sidhe), fosteriing as her squire, Quentin Sollys, who will one day be High King of the Westlands (what Faerie calls North America), and .... often called Toby by her friends. And as Library Journal said about #13, "the [14th] outing for Daye is just as fresh and exciting as the first. McGuire has built a complex world, where seemingly loose ends are woven tightly into the series." Booklist's description of #12 holds true for A Killing Frost, " the world building in this series has astonishing depth ....McGuire is still giving readers fascinating new pieces of the Faerie puzzle" (back cover).
October and Tybalt are to be married. But, to the surprise of none of her fans, this no easy walk down the aisle. "When October is informed that Simon Torquill--legally her father, due to Faerie's archaic marriage traditions--must be invited to her wedding or risk the ceremony throwing the Kingdom of the Mists into political turmoil, she finds herself setting out on a quest she was not yet prepared to undertake...," complications ensue. An angry and vindictive Firstborn, elf-shot taking her companions down, people turned into trees and toadstools ...
A fine tale, a page turner, recommended.
