Review: Sleep No More

Sleep No More by Seanan McGuire
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

For some reason, I am not as enthralled with this book as others are. I still don't like the fact that the author spends more time with inner dialoguing than she does on any action. This makes the book seem like it is too long. It isn't, but that is what it feels like to me.

I feel that there is much that needed to be written in this book and wasn't and much that was written that shouldn't have been. I'm not sure if you could call this a cliffhanger or not. It just left me very confused about some things, especially if you read the novella at the end.

I wonder when Titania is going to show back up and what she will do for revenge? And will Oberon ever get off his hind end to really help make things better for the Fae? Will Maeve come back, and if so, will that be the end of the series?


Well, it seems that I have more questions than answers, so as much as I did not LOVE this book, I did enjoy it enough to keep reading to find out the answers.

Well, onto the next arc in this series. I'll keep you posted.

October is very happy with her life as the second daughter of her pureblood parents, Amandine and Simon Torquill. Born to be the changeling handmaid to her beloved sister August, she spends her days working in her family’s tower, serving as August’s companion, and waiting for the day when her sister sets up a household of her own. Everything is right in October’s Faerie. Everything is perfect.

Everything is a lie.

October has been pulled from her own reality and thrown into a twisted reinterpretation of Faerie where nothing is as it should be and everything has been distorted to support Titania’s ideals. Bound by the Summer Queen’s magic and thrust into a world turned upside down, October has no way of knowing who she can trust, where she can turn, or even who she really is. As strangers who claim to know her begin to appear and the edges of Titania’s paradise begin to unravel, Toby will have to decide whether she can risk everything she knows based on only their stories of another world.

But first she’ll have to survive this one, as Titania demonstrates why she needed to be banished in the first place—and this time, much more than Toby’s own life is at stake.
