Book Review: "The Brightest Fell" by Seanan McGuire


Things are slow, and October “Toby” Daye couldn’t be happier about that.  The elf-shot cure has been approved, Arden Windermere is settling into her position as Queen in the Mists, and Toby doesn’t have anything demanding her attention except for wedding planning and spending time with her family.

Maybe she should have realized that it was too good to last.
                
When Toby’s mother, Amandine, appears on her doorstep with a demand for help, refusing her seems like the right thing to do…until Amandine starts taking hostages, and everything changes.  Now Toby doesn’t have a choice about whether or not she does as her mother asks.  Not with Jazz and Tybalt’s lives hanging in the balance.  But who could possibly help her find a pureblood she’s never met, one who’s been missing for over a hundred years?
                
Enter Simon Torquill, elf-shot enemy turned awakened, uneasy ally.  Together, the two of them must try to solve one of the greatest mysteries in the Mists: what happened to Amandine’s oldest daughter, August, who disappeared in 1906.
                
This is one missing person case Toby can’t afford to get wrong. - from Amazon.com

This is book 11 in the October Daye series. It was great to get to read another Toby story! I have enjoyed all in the series, and even some of the short in-betweens, even if they don't really involve Toby. I feel there is so many more ways to expand on this series, including side stories/series on other characters in the realm. Don't want to spoil it, but October finds some new things about her faerie family .... and more about herself as well. 

I was given an ARC in exchange for a review at Netgalley.com.
