The Unkindest Tide by Seanan McGuireMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Thanks to Netgalley and Berkley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
LUIDAEG! LUIDAEG! LUIDAEG! Everyone shout it with me!!!
(Now, ask yourself... were you pronouncing it correctly as "loo-shack"... or incorrectly as "loo-ee-day-g"... or struggling to pronounce it at all?)
Yeah, Antigone of Albany, the sea witch, Cousin Annie, the Luidaeg is my favorite character in the October Daye series, and this one has SO MUCH LOOSHACK that I can't function! We get to see deep into her soul!!!
Okay, enough fanboying. I absolutely loved this installment in the Toby series. Multiple firstborns, good old fashioned murder (yikes, poor victim), political posturing involving arrests and undersea rescues), and most importantly LOTS OF FAMILY. Lots and lots and lots. And mostly, that's Toby's adopted family - the family of choice, the family of people who come together and create a bond of family that isn't there because of blood or birth, but because of as conscious choice to love. The best kind of family.
Also, did I mention, this one is set out on the seas? Like a pirate adventure? YASSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Apparently, I love Toby and the Luidaeg so much that I have to ramble and fanboy and squee.
There's also a short story/novella at the end from Raj's POV, totally worth reading. 4 stars for that.
5 stars! READ TOBY!
