tiredAnyway, I'm drowning in links, and that means it's time to clear a few of them away. In honor of An Artificial Night (that being my most recent book, and all), it's a Toby-centric day, and we're starting with a review from Renee's Book Addiction, in which she says, "As with book two (A Local Habitation), An Artificial Night not only lived up the the high expectations, but took the series in ever more interesting and complex directions." The rest of the review is lovely, and you should read it. Also, it's technically a review of the audio book, which is super-fun.
Karissa, at Karissa's Reading Review, has reviewed An Artificial Night, and says "This was a great installment in this series. The book was different from the previous books in that most of it takes place in the Summerlands and it is more of a questing/adventure type of story. I loved it." She says a lot more, and very well. I'm pleased.
What's a review roundup without a Livejournal review? Silly, that's what, so here it is.
kay_gmd says "I'm not generally an emotional reader, I can definitely be taken away by a story, but this is the first time I remember crying while reading. As a caveat I am pregnant, and I'm told that while pregnant I'm more inclined to such things. (It was late in the book, so I'm not going to tell you where it hit)." Yay! I made...a pregnant woman...cry. Er. Please don't hit me.Phantastic Student has posted a review, and says, "An Artificial Night took the background from the second book, used it and added to it. It took the toughness, grittiness and heartbreak from the first book and compounded it. It took the best of both books, used it and made it better. It totally kicked ass. McGuire's hit her stride and is going to keep going." Woo! EPIC WIN.
Here: have a second Livejournal review.
markbernstein has posted a review of An Artificial Night, and says, "More important, this is the book in which we leave behind Toby, the reluctant private investigator and damaged person, and truly meet October Daye, knight of Shadowed Hills and hero. Here in full display is the moral determination, the unshakable loyalty to family and friends (that has in turn inspired the love and loyalty given her, which is key to the book both plotwise and thematically), and the near-pathological stubbornness that together form the core of Toby's character."Awesome. And that's all for now. Good night, moon.
