Ashes of Honor by Seanan McGuire

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

McGuire makes use of all we’ve learned about the fae and all the characters we’ve met to produce a great bit of detective fiction here. We also get some character growth for October. That’s always a great thing in a long-running series to keep it from getting boring.

I don’t want to ruin the plot so I’ll keep this short, but a couple little random notes:

  • There are 2 short stories between #5 and #6. If you are reading this on Goodreads, go to the series page and see what they’re called and seek them out. They add a lot of extra flavor to this book.
  • I currently read 2 McGuire series - October Daye and The Wayward Children. It appears that McGuire has a fondness for the Moors as a fantasy/fae location.

As I’ve said before and I’ll probably say on most of these reviews - if you’re this deep into October Daye you know if you like these books or not. As I said, this one moves key plots forward and has October experience character growth. So if you liked the previous ones, you’ll probably like this one too.
