Another lesson in "There are two sides to every story". McGuire takes a really unlikable character and finds a way to redeem him, only for fate to step in...... Well done!

Like any long series, some books in the October Daye series are better than others. The Brightest Fell is definitely high on the list...non-stop action, character advancement, and more.

Seanan McGuire is one of the best urban fantasy authors today and The Brightest Fell is an excellent example of why. The book is exciting and intriguing. Though it is part of a large series, the story remains fresh and the characters continue to develop in fun ways.

I love this series and there was no stopping me from reading this once I got approved! I've been reading these for so long that it's cool when we find out even more about Toby, about her mother, her sister, her childhood. Making her join forces with a past villain was genius, and anytime we get more Luidaeg is time well spent. This could be read as a stand-alone, as Ms McGuire gives a summary and history at the beginning, though I recommend not short changing yourself and read this awesome series from the beginning.
