The world of Faerie never disappeared: it merely went into hiding, continuing to exist parallel to our own. Secrecy is the key to Faerie’s survival—but no secret can be kept forever, and when the fae and mortal worlds collide, changelings are born. Half-human, half-fae, outsiders from birth, these second-class children of Faerie spend their lives fighting for the respect of their immortal relations. Or, in the case of October “Toby” Daye, rejecting it completely.

After getting burned by both sides of her heritage, Toby has denied the fae world, retreating into a “normal” life. Unfortunately for her, Faerie has other ideas. The murder of Countess Evening Winterrose, one of the secret regents of the San Francisco Bay Area, pulls Toby back into the fae world. Unable to resist Evening’s dying curse, which binds her to investigate, Toby is forced to resume her old position as knight errant to the Duke of Shadowed Hills and begin renewing old alliances that may prove her only hope of solving the mystery...before the curse catches up with her.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"Well researched, sharply told, highly atmospheric and as brutal as any pulp detective tale, this promising start to a new urban fantasy series is sure to appeal to fans of Jim Butcher or Kim Harrison." ( Publishers Weekly)

Great listen. Cool, sassy, fast and sad. A very interesting take on a female fantasy character,She is no superhero, she is an understated woman with everyday worries caught between two worlds.
If you like fantasy, this is worth a listen. I will be listening to the next Toby Daye novel, can not wait to see how this great character progresses!!

October Day is a fantasy hero for adults!!

Starting abruptly & with more politics than I have ever experienced irl this story may yet be one of the most amazing worlds I've ever experienced....I just wish the narrator didn't try so hard to do the accents because she's not great at them & it just winds up being kind of uncomfortable.

You gotta love it

Took a little while to get into it but once I did I really enjoyed the story. The narrator was very good and was able to give distinctive voices to each character which always help follow the story. Looking forward to listening to the next one.

Enjoyed

What other book might you compare Rosemary and Rue to, and why?

For sure an original to me so far. I love Seanan McGuire books. All I have read or listened to from her was well worked out, well written and original.

Which character – as performed by Mary Robinette Kowal – was your favourite?

This is a great narrator. All characters reflect that. I love to listen to her.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I have listened to whole series before. I just love all scenes with King of Cats and Luidaeg of course, especially in later books.

Any additional comments?

These series are so worth the credit. I didn't want to sleep so I can keep on listening. Just love it.

Love it!
