Chimes at Midnight
Chimes at Midnight: Book Seven of Toby Daye | Seanan McGuire
14 posts | 32 read | 8 to read
"This installment bumped this series up to the top of my urban-paranormal series list!" Felicia DayThings are starting to look up for October "Toby" Daye. She's training her squire, doing her job, and has finally allowed herself to grow closer to the local King of Cats. It seems like her life may finally be settling down...at least until dead changelings start appearing in the alleys of San Francisco, killed by an overdose of goblin fruit.Toby's efforts to take the problem to the Queen of the Mists are met with harsh reprisals, leaving her under sentence of exile from her home and everyone she loves. Now Toby must find a way to reverse the Queens decree, get the goblin fruit off the streets--and, oh, yes, save her own life. And then there's the question of the Queen herself, who seems increasingly unlikely to have a valid claim to the throne....To find the answers, October and her friends will have to travel from the legendary Library of Stars into the hidden depths of the Kingdom of the Mists--and they'll have to do it fast, because time is running out.Chimes at Midnight is the seventh installment of the highly praised Toby Daye series.

Another good installment in the October Daye series, which is one of my focus series for #SeriesLove2023. In this one, Toby tries to overthrow an illegitimate ruler while fighting a deadly addiction.

For this month's #BacklistReadathon, I'm concentrating on Seanan McGuire's backlist, starting with the tagged book. Her October Daye series is one that I'm focussing on for #SeriesLove2023.

kwmg40 @TheSpineView @TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 Thanks for the encouragement!

@Clwojick I like the books she's published under Mira Grant too. But she's so prolific. I'm never going to get through her backlist!

I'm in the middle of so many series, but these three are the ones I'd especially like to concentrate on in 2023:
- October Daye
- Inspector Maigret
- Malazan Book of the Fallen

The next books to read are shown in the image. I've not much hope of finishing these series in 2023 (or even in my lifetime, in the case of Maigret) but I'll be happy if I make some progress!

@Andrew65 @TheSpineView #SeriesLove2023

TheSpineView All good series. Good luck!❤️📚 1y
Andrew65 I love the George‘s Simenon books but there are so many of them! Hope you have a good time progressing al your series. 1y

I think I need to take a break from this series. The jokes are all sounding the same, and this one asks me to believe that restoring a hereditary monarchy is a solution, which ... yeah, no it's not. I'll probably pick it up again sometime because the character, cast, and world do still appeal to me.

When it feels like October‘s life is finally under control, goblin fruit starts showing up in her neighborhood, killing changelings. And she might also have to overthrow the Queen of Mists. But no big deal, right?

One my my fave things about this series is it‘s continuity. Things from previous books have consequences. And October‘s growth is clear in every book. And I really like how each secondary character gets growth and background. 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
