Receive The Unkindest Tide (October Daye, #13) Written By Seanan McGuire Available As Volume

Why is this series still standing Because Seanan McGuire created an amazing world we don't want to part ways from.
I'll probably cry when it does,

We are now on bookand I don't want this to end, I love Toby. She's a strong female character with a great heart and a knack for getting into trouble, Being "hero" of the realm comes with its drawbacks,

I'm glad at the beginning of the book, Toby is enjoying a nice night with her family before the Luidaeg's comes to visit.
It was nice to see all of the kids, Jaz, and Tybalt all relaxed for a change,

The Luidaeg is coming for payment, Toby owes her a lot and it's time to settle her debts, As payment, Toby and friends will accompany the Luidwaeg to the sea and travel to the Duchy of Ships to have the Selkies pay their own debts.
Of course, nothing is simple when Toby is around,

I love seeing Tybalt and Toby together, He's so Shakesperean and he always delivers perfect lines that make me laugh or swoon, Quentin has grown so much as a character, He's now a man, almost ready to leave his blind fosterage, Dean is also becoming his own person and ruler which Marsha is making sure he does, Marsha is an intriguing character, I wonder if she will have a more important role in the next few books, She certainly did in this one, Pete was a nice addition and a surprise, I hope to see her again but probably not, I love to see Deanda again, She's another favorite of mine, The addition of the Merrow's conflict made the plotline more interesting too,

What can I say about the Luidaeg She's probably my favorite character after Toby and Tybalt.
She can be funny. She has helped Toby so many times, She loves Quentin. She has been in terrible pain for so many years thanks to her own sister, I hope after this book, she achieves some type of peace,

Cliffhanger: No

The Unkindest Tide is another wonderful addition to the October Daye series.
This is one of my favorite Urban Fantasy series, and I am so happy that afterbooks the author still delivers intriguing and amazing storylines.
In almost each book we get to visit a new place and be introduced to new characters, The characters keep on growing and learning new things, It is amazing to see what else is possible and hidden in this amazing world, I loved that this book was focusing on the Luidaeg, she is one of my favorite characters, and I was happy to see that she played a major role in this book.
What I love the most is that there is never a dull moment in this series, there is always something exciting going on.
The story is not repetitive and Seanan is continuously expanding the phenomenal world she built,

In this book the Luidaeg has summoned all the Selkies to call in their debts from the deal she made hundreds years ago.
She, October and others will sail to the Duchy of Ships, where all the Selkies in the world will be gathering to have their skins permanently bound to their bodies, to bring back the Roane.
This book was actionpacked, funny, emotional, and uplifting, Like always October gets herself into trouble, but always finds a way to get out of them, She is strong and loyal, and will always help the ones in need, We also get a couple of heartfelt scenes between October and Tybalt, which was a great addition to the story.
There were also a couple of heartbreaking scenes, which made me want to hug both October and the Luidaeg.
I think fans of this series will be satisfied and enjoy this book, I already look forward to the next book, This is the lucky thirteenth volume of October Daye's adventures, This one feels just as fresh and vibrant as all of the previous ones, Somehow McGuire manages to convey the feeling that she really cares about what happens to her characters and how they act, and she expects the readers to, also.
There's such a rich backstory and detailed world built up that it's becoming difficult to keep track of it all she's going to have to start issuing scorecards soon.
This one, though, is set in a new corner between the land and the sea, and is filled with all of the heartbreak and adventure and piratey derringdo that one might wish.
The volume also includes a novella about Tybalt's heir that I somehow didn't enjoy as much as the bonus pieces in previous volumes.
Thanks to Netgalley and Berkley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review,

LUIDAEG! LUIDAEG! LUIDAEG! Everyone shout it with me!!!

Now, ask yourself, . . were you pronouncing it correctly as "looshack", . . or incorrectly as "looeedayg" or struggling to pronounce it at all

Yeah, Antigone of Albany, the sea witch, Cousin Annie, the Luidaeg

is my favorite character in the October Daye series, and this one has SO MUCH LOOSHACK that I can't function! We get to see deep into her soul!!!

Okay, enough fanboying.
I absolutely loved this installment in the Toby series, Multiple firstborns, good old fashioned murder yikes, poor victim, political posturing involving arrests and undersea rescues, and most importantly LOTS OF FAMILY.
Lots and lots and lots, And mostly, that's Toby's adopted family the family of choice, the family of people who come together and create a bond of family that isn't there because of blood or birth, but because of as conscious choice to love.
The best kind of family,

Also, did I mention, this one is set out on the seas Like a pirate adventure YASSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Apparently, I love Toby and the Luidaeg so much that I have to ramble and fanboy and squee.


There's also a short story/novella at the end from Raj's POV, totally worth reading,for that.

stars! READ TOBY!

Merged review:

Great story about Raj and his acceptance of his life as a future King of Cats Bound by geas, the Luidaeg must tell no lies, and a short while ago she told the Selkies that their debt was about to come due.
October Daye, Night of Lost Words, "Toby" is deep in debt with the Luidaeg and her friend besides.
That friendship is put to the test when the sea witch calls in Toby's debt to use her particular magic on the Selkies.


This is another story that ties in well with the immediate last few books, particularly exploring the relationships between parents and children.
Toby and Gillian, the Luidag and the Roan and Selkies, even Dianda Lorden and her family, I continue to be surprised thatbooks in we're still getting interesting and insightful urban fantasy, It's a rich universe that the author has created here,

There's also some great additions to the lore, including the Firstborn of the Merrow, the Duchy of Ships and we get lots more of the Cephali probably my favorite fae race so far.
