Red-Rose Chain
Red-Rose Chain | Seanan McGuire
11 posts | 32 read | 1 reading | 8 to read
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. "A Red-Rose Chain "is the ninth installment in Seanan McGuire's urban fantasy October "Toby" Daye series."

I finished the #BacklistReadathon with this 9th book from the October Daye series, which seems to get better with every subsequent book. Toby goes to another Faerie kingdom to try to prevent a war and in doing so, learns surprising secrets about her alchemist friend Walther.

And with completion of this book I met my Goodreads challenge for the year...and it's still October! Guess I should have been more ambitious when I set my goal! 😜

"I would prefer not to be taken prisoner, as I am a visiting monarch, but I will gladly accompany you as you lead my betrothed off to a travesty of justice," said Tybalt. "Perhaps a second war can be declared today."

A strong addition to a fantastic series. At book #9 this series shows no signs of slowing down.

Holy crap, this was an amazing book. I love the October Daye series; with each new title in the series, Seanan McGuire gets better and better. This is some of the strongest world-building you'll ever find in an urban fantasy, and characters you'll never want to leave. Just wonderful!
