First ASHES OF HONOR review, and it's a good one!

[seanan_mcguire]

You guys! Publishers Weekly has reviewed Ashes of Honor!

You can read the full, spoiler-free review by clicking this link, but I wanted to direct you to the following AWESOME quote:

"McGuire applies a hard-boiled mentality and a keen appreciation for mythology to a blend of politics, magic, and romance to make this the most entertaining series installment to date."

AWESOME!

This is the best review of a Toby book I've had from PW since Rosemary and Rue. I am basking. Basking, I tell you.

Glee.

(As a side note, there's a small factual error in the review, which implies that Toby can teleport. She can't teleport. Please don't email either me or Publishers Weekly going "ZOMG ERROR!!!!", because I know about it, and I'd rather not flood legitimate review outlets with fiddly comments. Not that this will actually prevent it, it's just, you know. Polite.)

There are no words for how much I am looking forward to this book.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I am so glad.

[trialia]

Shiny! I've pre-ordered already, one copy for me and one for my girlfriend ♥

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[qnofhrt.livejournal.com]

Does happy dance for you and waits impatiently for book to come out!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Soon, soon.

[swevene.livejournal.com]

That summary makes me even more excited for this book- not that I wasn't already! But it sounds so cool and I can't wait to read it.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I am so glad.

Yay! Congratulations.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[ladymurmur.livejournal.com]

Frabjous! :-)

So looking forward to this next dose of Toby! And Tybalt... mustn't forget Tybalt. He wouldn't like that much, now would he?

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

No, he wouldn't.

[brithistorian.livejournal.com]

Congratulations! That's a wonderful review! :-D

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I'm pleased. :)

[ducktape74.livejournal.com]

It also refers to Toby as a he, ("but not his control").

Congrats on the review - cant wait to read it! :)

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I know, because it meant to refer to Etienne there.

[yellowblackhaze.livejournal.com]

Looking forward to this one in the very near future.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Glee.

I don't want fall to arrive because I love summer but this book is one of the things that I am looking forward to in the fall:)
p.s. my daughter's name is Toby and she is constantly annoyed that people don't realize that the name Toby can be a "girl's name".
p.p.s When I read the review I think that the error is that it should say Etienne and not Toby.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is the error.

[anne_d]

Yay! And you're a wicked, wicked tease, Seanan!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Whaaaaaaaaaaat?

[anne_d]

Dropping all those hints about the book, and making us wait, and wait, and wait... Wicked, I say!

The very best kind of wicked. :)

[smoooom.livejournal.com]

Toby can Teleport? Cool.

Sorry, really really sorry but I couldn't resist. That was my gut reaction on reading the review.

September is SO FAR away.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yes, we know about the error. :(

[kveberle.livejournal.com]

Kudos! I can't wait to read it...

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[trixiaw.livejournal.com]

The book seems so close and yet so far away. We didn't even get an excerpt at the end of Incryptd to obsess over, oh well, at least we have some warm weather to keep us company.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Sadly, because it's a different series, that won't be happening. :(

[biteybatgirl.livejournal.com]

Can I just say that I *love* the fact that the new Toby books get released about 2 weeks before my birthday? It's like an early birthday present!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Happy birthday!

[biteybatgirl.livejournal.com]

And congratulations on the review! That's awesome news for you!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

I'm really delighted.

[pointedulac.livejournal.com]

Eeeee that's so exciting!

I can't wait to read it.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Yes!

[kyrielle]

YAY! (And Toby can so teleport...provided she somehow involves Etienne (without making him so annoyed he just smacks her).... Hehe.)

[ironed_orchid]

I like this interpretation!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Hee.

Fair point.

[biguglymandoll.livejournal.com]

Toby should be able to teleport TO THE TOP OF THE NYT BESTSELLER LIST. ;-) Congrats on the review, can't wait to read the book!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Here's hoping she finally does!

[denisen1.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, happy dance!!! Congrats on the wonderful review! Bliss!

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[ambermoon.livejournal.com]

I am turning 30 right around the release date - this might be the best birthday present of them all.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

Happy birthday!

[ironed_orchid]

Ettienne has a kid? Interesting.

[seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com]

That was Toby's reaction, too.
