A review by mimosaeyes
Sleep No More by Seanan McGuire
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
I seem to be in the minority here, but I found this book pretty boring. I've read the entire series so far, and it has its ups and downs. This is one of the latter.
It's quite obvious from the outset that this book can only end with Toby defeating Titania and restoring reality. Knowing how a book ends is fine; the journey to get there can still be interesting. The issue is, it really isn't. For three-quarters of the book, spell!October just bleeds and breaks spells and encounters old friends she doesn't remember. At one point, the Luidaeg comments that they don't have time to do the whole reunion thing every time, and I second that motion.
I borrowed the next book, Tybalt's perspective, at the same time from the library. I wonder if it'll be less dry?
