I haven't read the Toby Daye books yet, either, and I'm behind on the Incrypdid series. Predictably, my favorite character(s) are the Aeslin mice.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The status is NOT quo.
I pretty much love everything Seanan McGuire writes and consume it as soon as it's finished. For anyone starting the Toby Daye books, though, be aware that the writing gets a lot better after the first book. That may have been her first book, actually. I just know that I wasn't sold at first and fell in love with the series after I read 2 and 3.

I got through the first 4 Harry Dresden books, so if there's only 1 Toby Daye book that's not as good, I can totally handle that!

Thrive to spite them
I have 2 more books to read in the Harry Dresden series. I can't believe it I thought there were more.
I'm still iffy on them.

I think they have big flaws, but they're entertaining popcorn books for me.

I like them and I skim a by and then go re read. I feel that at times there is too much in the books but also too much time between the books so I get lost in the timeline and feel cheated a bit out of story.

Yeah, the first Toby book was a slog for me, mainly because it was also an info dump as I think I said at one point. But it WAS fun to re-read after reading the whole series. I love her "family" now and who ever said Connor was a drag was right on the money. Never got the appeal.

I finally allowed myself to order Skullduggery: Resurrection from the UK. I live the way their email tells me my shipment has been dispatched. So much fancier than shipped.
