Another book that seems to tie a bow on Toby’s plotlines. I’ve said something akin to this more that once, but this time truly seems as though McGuire has finally finished up all the plotlines. (Not 100% true, there’s a certain person who is white as snow who isn’t QUITE done yet….) The climax of this book seems to finally resolve the one HUGE plot that I thought would mark the end of the series. Yet I know, here in 2025, that there are another 5 or so books (and multiple short stories). I have one theory - I think someone who was very angry at the end of this book will be teaming up with someone else who has cause to be upset with Toby. Other than that, I have no idea what could be awaiting our protagonist.

After the last book, which seemed to rush by way too quickly, this one definitely seemed to have a lot more problem solving and mysteries that Toby needed to reason through. It was much more enjoyable to me for being written in that style.

Onwards we continue. Once we reach the final volume (assuming McGuire has an ending in mind) there will be many more spoilers. For now reducing the use of spoilers limits how much more I can write.
