Praise for the October Daye series:
"
This installment bumped this series up to the top of my urban-paranormal series list! … Highly recommend it, can't wait for the next! Of all the 'Faerie' urban fantasy series out there, I enjoy this one the most. If you like the
Dark Fever series or Kate Daniels series, you'll def like this one."
—Felicia Day
"McGuire applies a hard-boiled mentality and a keen appreciation for mythology to a blend of politics, magic, and romance to make this
the most entertaining series installment to date." —
Publisher's Weekly "
Fast-paced, without ever being frantic, with excellent characterization.... McGuire is a dab hand at dialogue, and the bantering between Toby and everyone--especially Tybalt--is one of the highlights of the book." —
RT Book Reviews "The
October Daye series is one of those delicious worlds that
becomes more and more beloved with each visit, and
Ashes of Honor is my favorite of this series to date." —
All Things Urban Fantasy
“Lots of portal hopping, visits to some of Toby’s old friends, and some deadly encounters keep things lively as the
tension builds to a dramatic conclusion.” —
Locus "[McGuire] tells her story with
energy and charm.... It’s all so much fun." —
SF Signal
"
Strong and evocative.... It has everything you could want: strong characters, detailed settings, and an engrossing plot." —
Owlcat Mountain
"I love that Toby is a strong, independent--yet still vulnerable--heroine. I love that this is a world where people die, where consequences matter. I love the complex world-building and mythology. I love the almost film noir tone of the series. I love that each book leaves me wanting more.
If you dig urban fantasy, this is one of the best out there." —
CC2K
"With
Ashes of Honor, McGuire has crafted a deeply personal and intense story that will keep you on the edge, hoping to be pushed over. In my opinion, it is,
hands down, the best Toby to date." —
