Robin's Reviews > The Brightest Fell

I really enjoyed the way this installment upended much of the world we've gotten used to. I did like that things finally seemed to be working out for Toby et al, but I also appreciate that a) comfortable life doesn't make for much of a story and b) the way McGuire went about upending things was very interesting and not a bunch of cliche let's-torture-the-protagonist stuff.

Though I always wish for more Ludiaeg, I will forgive. I'm very excited to see the larger mythology of the series coming into play and I can't wait to watch it play out.

The bonus novella was nice-- I do appreciate April O'Leary-- but I'm not quite sure what implications the events of the story will have in the rest of the universe. It rather specifically undoes much of the stakes of a previous book, so I'm curious as to whether McGuire wanted to write a fix-it, or whether she has plans for the characters involved....
