i read chapters 1-6 today although as usual i find it difficult to say too much without giving spoilers for the whole book. i will say that i'm glad may is in this book more and i absolutely love walther as well so it's nice to see more of him. anyone else started yet?
I just started this on my break so only the 1st chpt in. But it was funny when Toby said she hasn't committed treason with this queen yet. I was laughing at that :) And those poor Mauthe Doog.
haha i know, toby's life is starting to be measured in what percentage of the local nobility she has unseated / pissed off
So ran across this on tumblr and wanted to share as it’s about this book. No real spoilers I don’t think but to be safe view after reading up to chapter 5.http://darkfrog24.tumblr.com/post/129...
lmao i think i've seen that post before and yeah that is literally october's exact approach to 'diplomatic negotiations'. although i guess to be fair arden pretty much did send her because she knew that she would piss everyone offi read up through chapter 14 last night. i had forgotten how fucked up this book was lol. and the fake queen is just the absolute wooorst. i honestly wish they could kill people just so all these villains could stop popping up again

@Cathy no we haven't met Rhys before, I think he was just mentioned as like 'the puppet king in Silences' or whatever, pretty sure we didn't even get a name before this.I finished earlier today and ugh this book makes me so angry! I mean not necessarily in a bad way because it is a very well written book but Rhys and the old queen are just infuriating. Also (view spoiler)
Also I love at the end when Tybalt (view spoiler) I just love Tybalt very much. Also, is there literally anything more badass than (view spoiler)
Only thru Ch 10 and its seriously frustrating me and making me so angry! Rhys and that psycho (view spoiler)

I loved what Tybalt said too! Definitely impactful!
@Cathy - i totally agree, give them a taste of their own medicine lol i don't need our heroes to be ~better than them~ i would rather be petty and vindictivealso someone on tumblr made up a drinking game for this series and it made me laugh

Haha me too! Thats the least they deserve!!
That drinking game is hilarious!!! But they forgot one - drink every time Toby, or someone else, calls Toby a hero. Especially in this book you'd be drunk off your ass after like the 4th Chapter!!!
haha true, maybe they left that one out for our physical safety ;)

Are we starting te next book on the 1st?
i could have sworn i posted here this morning asking if you guys wanted me to request it for the 1st but now it's not here ...anyway i'm okay as long as everyone else is, i only ask because it seems to take people longer to get going every time we do it
It was on another thread :)We only have 3 left in this series! I'll be ready on the 1st for the next one.
haha that's what i get for just looking my history for october daye. ok i will go request it
Since there's only three left in the series you guys want to try and knock them all out in December before the year ends?
i can definitely fit them all in but i know most people are busier than me at the holidays lol
Yes please! Maybe 1 a week?
yeah that would probably work so then we would finish them all before christmas. gonna be weird reading the 12th one like 3 months after i read it before though lol
Not so weird....once I read a book again after having just finished it
haha i've done that too but generally when i was like suuuuper obsessed with them
Synopsis
Things are looking up.
For the first time in what feels like years, October “Toby” Daye has been able to pause long enough to take a breath and look at her life—and she likes what she sees. She has friends. She has allies. She has a squire to train and a King of Cats to love, and maybe, just maybe, she can let her guard down for a change.
Or not. When Queen Windermere’s seneschal is elf-shot and thrown into an enchanted sleep by agents from the neighboring Kingdom of Silences, Toby finds herself in a role she never expected to play: that of a diplomat. She must travel to Portland, Oregon, to convince King Rhys of Silences not to go to war against the Mists. But nothing is that simple, and what October finds in Silences is worse than she would ever have imagined.
How far will Toby go when lives are on the line, and when allies both old and new are threatened by a force she had never expected to face again? How much is October willing to give up, and how much is she willing to change? In Faerie, what’s past is never really gone.
It’s just waiting for an opportunity to pounce.
