When Sorrows Come
When Sorrows Come: An October Daye Novel | Seanan McGuire
6 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
Toby's getting married! Now in hardcover, the fifteenth novel of the Hugo-nominated, New York Times-bestselling October Daye urban fantasy series. It's hard to be a hero. There's always something needing October "Toby" Daye's attention, and her own desires tend to fall by the wayside in favor of solving the Kingdom's problems. That includes the desire to marry her long-time suitor and current fianc, Tybalt, San Francisco's King of Cats. She doesn't mean to keep delaying the wedding, it just sort of...happens. And that's why her closest friends have taken the choice out of her hands, ambushing her with a court wedding at the High Court in Toronto. Once the High King gets involved, there's not much even Toby can do to delay things... ...except for getting involved in stopping a plot to overthrow the High Throne itself, destabilizing the Westlands entirely, and keeping her from getting married through nothing more than the sheer volume of chaos it would cause. Can Toby save the Westlands and make it to her own wedding on time? Or is she going to have to choose one over the other? Includes an all-new bonus novella!

Another good installment in the October Daye series, but I did find one thing disappointing. I was excited that this book was set in Toronto (close to where I live) but almost all the action happened in the hidden faerie realm. The only Toronto references were the overused Tim Hortons jokes. We really do have more than Tim Hortons here in Canada! 😄

Hooked_on_books But Timbits are so good! Especially the chocolate ones. Yum! 7mo
kwmg40 @Librarybelle They're not wholly Canadian these days, as there is some foreign ownership, but Tim's was founded in the 1960's by Canadian hockey player Tim Horton, and there's pretty much a Tim's in every Canadian city and town, no matter how small. 7mo
Librarybelle Good to know! I think I‘ve seen one near Erie, Pennsylvania but have not visited. 7mo
kwmg40 @Hooked_on_books My family had to try the Timbiebs (a collaboration with Justin Bieber) when they came out, but my favourites remain the chocolate glazed and old fashioned. 7mo
TheAromaofBooks Yes, we have Tim Horton's here in Ohio... TimBits are the best!! 7mo
kwmg40 @TheAromaofBooks Nice to see appreciation of Tim's elsewhere in the world! My daughter lives in London where a Tim's opened up recently. She said there were long lineups, which seemed weird to us, as Tim's is just the local no-frills coffee shop to us Canadians. 😄 7mo

Toby and Tybalt are finally getting married! Now, if they could only get through the attempted usurpation of the High Throne of the Westlands before the ceremony, that would be great.

An excellent follow up! Nice calm start, then the plot sneaks in and slaps you with a fish, and the pace is intense all the way to the end. Fantastic world expansion, fun characters, enough resolution at the end and exciting questions for the next book! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

kwmg40 I'm looking forward to reading this one eventually. I've only finished the first 5 books but am taking a break to read some of the Tybalt shorts, which I'm enjoying a lot.

So it‘s time to snuggle up with a blanket and my #BookSpin book!

Love this series and have been waited for so long for this one. So glad I finally got to listen to it. I‘m so excited for whenever the next one comes, but while I wait, it‘s time for a reread from the beginning!

Did I buy When Sorrows Come before I am completely caught up with the October Daye series because it looks very pretty and came with a pin? Yes, yes I did.

Also! New Mary Roach!

Chrissyreadit I was just thinking about this series. 3y
