In this exciting book we pick up not long after Late
Eclipses left off. A short span of time has passed
since we last left this world. Toby seems to understand
understand her duty and has relaxed in her role as Countess
but much happens to turn her world into chaos once again.
As Toby begins to go on dates and find normalcy within her
life, she is thrusted into a search for missing children and
trying to prove her innocence. In the short time frame that
she is allowed Toby finds herself traveling all over the
worlds in her search for the boys. Add in the danger and the
one who is willing to do anything to stop her and you have a
one exciting story.
I have really started to enjoy the October Daye series,
including the latest installment, ONE SALT SEA. Toby has
indeed grown but still needs to continue doing so. I love
that she is now starting to feel comfortable enough to start
dating and take control of her life. I also like that she
can now begin to be the countess that she is meant to be.
Sean McGuire does a good job of intertwining all the
interactions between the characters in this book. I also
enjoy the way that the men in Toby's life like her for who
she is and let her be just that. Not only does Toby come to
life but many of the secondary characters make a big
impression as well. We are introduced to another world in
this book and new characters as well as visits with some
from the past. As Toby rushes to find the kidnapped children
we see how she has developed and grown. Toby must not only
deal with people's feelings and reactions but she must also
deal with the politics associated with being a countess.
There are twists and unexpected happenings in ONE SALT SEA
that kept me quickly turning the pages all the way to the
end.
So much goes on in this book that I would advise starting
the series from the beginning so that you can understand the
characters and what is going on. Overall, this is not a
story that can be picked up midstream. If you follow the
series, you will not be disappointed with the newest
continuation. I really like the way McGuire mixes magic and
myth into his addictive story lines. ONE SALT SEA was an
enjoyable read and I cannot wait till the next book comes
out.
October "Toby" Daye is settling into her new role as
Countess of Goldengreen. She's actually dating again, and
she's taken on Quentin as her squire. So, of course, it's
time for things to take a turn for the worse.
Someone has kidnapped the sons of the regent of the
Undersea
Duchy of Saltmist. To prevent a war between land and sea,
Toby must find the missing boys and prove the Queen of
the
Mists was not behind their abduction. Toby's search will
take her from the streets of San Francisco to the lands
beneath the waves, and her deadline is firm: she must
find
the boys in three days' time, or all of the Mists will
pay
the price. But someone is determined to stop her-and
whoever
it is isn't playing by Oberon's Laws...
