Be the Serpent

October Daye, Book 16

By: Seanan McGuire

Narrated by: Mary Robinette Kowal

The 16th novel of the Hugo-nominated, New York Times best-selling October Daye urban-fantasy series.

October Daye is finally something she never expected to be: married. All the trials and turmoils and terrors of a hero’s life have done very little to prepare her for the expectation that she will actually share her life with someone else, the good parts and the bad ones alike, not just allow them to dabble around the edges in the things she wants to share. But with an official break from hero duties from the Queen in the Mists, and her family wholly on board with this new version of “normal”, she’s doing her best to adjust.

It isn’t always easy, but she’s a hero, right? She’s done harder.

Until an old friend and ally turns out to have been an enemy in disguise for this entire time, and October’s brief respite turns into a battle for her life, her community, and everything she has ever believed to be true.

The debts of the Broken Ride are coming due, and whether she incurred them or not, she’s going to be the one who has to pay.

Oh no not again

Just when I though things were going to be good for October, well has good as can be expected…..

my favorite!

My absolute favorite book of the series. the ended threw me off, and I'm sad I don't have another book to go to but I can't wait for the next one!

Why do they have to end?

I love everything about this series except that they end! I absolutely love these books!

Amazing!!!

Oh Seanan this was excellent! I have to say this one was probably my fav. You have outdone yourself. Thank you!

what a depressing ending

The narrator is good but has sobs in her voice for every book. This one is no exception. Toby again faces daunting challenges with her usual brash manner. Not as much bleeding by Toby as usual but plenty of knotty problems. Did it really have to end on such a down note? Couldn't that have been saved for the first chapter of the next book? Won't read this one again any time soon. Think I'll go back and reread the latest Mercy Thompson
