Be the Serpent

Be the Serpent by Seanan McGuire, 384 pages.

October is finally married, and it's surprisingly nice. She's managed to pull her loved ones around her and is enjoying relatively safety. But Toby is a hero who always seems to be at the center of everything, so naturally it can't last. 

This book was really interesting because a lot of the major plots hinted at in the earliest books are finally coming to fruition. It's also interesting to see how the author manages to keep the stakes high as Toby keeps inching closer to functionally immortal. I found this book to start really picking up again after a bit of a lull the last couple of books, and I'm very excited for the TWO (!) new novels coming out this fall (including the first full length novel not from Toby's perspective). I would definitely recommend this book, although it's book 16 in a series, and I can't help but feel that if you've made it that far you're probably already hooked.
