A Red-Rose Chain by Seanan McGuire

3.0

You know, after nine books I think we've gotten the point that Toby doesn't like the sight of blood. The author didn't try to shove it into our face like she used to, but it does get annoying. I liked this book well enough, but I don't think it was the best out of the series. It was just too slow in some parts, and I felt my attention starting to wane. I think what helped with this book was that I liked seeing Walther. He's an interesting character to me, and seeing some interactions between him and other characters made me like him more. Oh, and I also liked how Toby has gotten it through her thick skull that even though she didn't want to be a hero (which she said a gajillion times in the earlier books), she is now and she's good at it because she has friends to help her. Yes! She's had friends trying to help her out all this time, but she was so stubborn in the first couple of books.
