2018 book 127

Seanan McGuire's Night and Silence
For a while there, I had grown disenchanted with this series, which kept throwing curveballs instead of coming to any sort of conclusion. But now I am just leaning into it, which is good, because this twelfth volume of the Toby Daye series has curveballs galore (it also has way too many characters, so the plot occasionally screeches to a halt so there can be exposition about something that happened several books ago). Anyway, in this one, Toby's daughter has been kidnapped . . . again. And the usual band of misfits is on the case! As ever, the sea witch remains my favorite character, but the whole team is great (I at first typed “a lot of fun” but several of them are dealing with PTSD at this point so maybe not). B+.
