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.

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 …

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.

A Visit with Old Friends

4 stelle

This is the sixteenth in the October Daye urban fantasy series by Seanan McGuire. She's been building this rich, interesting series and illuminating its various nooks and crannies for quite some time. As a result, each new entry in the series (which arrive like clockwork every fall) works as much like a very enjoyable visit with old friends as it does like a book. The downside of that is that there's only so far she can go -- we want to recognize those old friends after all. But, she does a good job of keeping her characters growing and changing and, as a result, interesting. As expected, a very enjoyable read.
