#86 The Winter Long by Seanan McGuire

[missingvolume]

This book is the payoff for reading the previous seven books. Not that the those were not enjoyable but they were but this one brings a major arc to a close and answers lots of questions but throws down questions that have been brought up and ignored by everyone previously have been shoved under Toby's nose so she can no longer be ignorant of who she is and her past. This is not a book for anyone to start the series but this is a payoff for every fan that has wondered about things that have happened in the previous books. And the story also reminded Toby that she has been mostly assuming things and people have assumed that she has known things when in actuality she hasn't. Not to give anything away but a small conversation with Etienne really brings into Toby's face what she doesn't know about herself does effect how people interact with her in the Fae community. Now I need to sit down and read the books again. I said at one point I was going to write down all the prophecy that has been said around her to see what has come true and what hasn't because there must be some clues about what will happen next.
