Book #1: Rosemary and Rue
@Gravy where are you in the book? I have read the first few chapters and enjoy it.
Toby is a vivacious changeling! I liked the prelude 'where she was turned into fish. It was a strong opening. 14 years as a fish is a bit too long though. I wouldn't have thought she would have survived that long as a fish...It is sad her family didn't want any contact with her. It is understandable why she denied the Faerie world. At first, I was confused about how she changed back into a human. The author's explanation was a bit vague on that point (the dawn or some other reason).
I have reached the part after the murder scene. The dying curse sure is a great motivation, though she would have investigated anyway. I like the book so far.
I just started this book and I'm completely into it! I loved the way the author introduced Toby and the subtle way she had Toby turn into a fish. Though 14 years as a fish seems crazy to me...I don't think I've reached the point where the author explains how she turns back into a human, but I'll be on the lookout for that!
I am glad you like the book. I loved the first, and the series gets better from book to book.
14 years as a fish also seems a bit too much to me. keep us updated as you read more.
That's great to hear! I'm plugging away, just on chapter 5 now. Evening is dead and Toby has done some blood magic to see what happened to Evening when she was killed.
I agree that the author didn't really explain how Toby became human again. Not sure if that's explored later on in the book or series, but it seems like Toby is just as confused as we are.
I think the author, so far, is doing a great job in introducing us to Toby's world and the magic she possesses. Though I don't think I have a full grasp on all the new vocabulary quite yet, I'm beginning to somewhat understand them.
