Toby
Daye is a changeling and a knight. This sixth book in the
series opens with a grief-stricken Toby endangering herself
too much. Her friends are worried and Toby isn't talking --
not about the lover she lost or the daughter given over to
the human world and lost to her forever. So when she's asked
to find the missing changeling daughter of another knight,
Tody can hardly refuse. This young changeling proves to have
amazing powers -- powers someone hopes to exploit even if
it destroys all of Faerie. The blend of hard action, politics
and fantasy make this an incredibly compelling book -- even
if it's your first venture into the October Daye series. The
romantic element of the novel, between Toby and the King of
Cats, adds its own heat but doesn't distract from the tension
and action of Toby's desperate search for the changeling girl.
The dialogue has wit enough to please those lovers of saucy
heroines, but Toby is never ditzy or weak -- she knows how
serious her job is and she pursues it unflinchingly. I also
loved the fae politics in a modern world. Really, if you're
looking for an urban fantasy series with both wit and grit
-- this one delivers.
