coral reviewed The Innocent Sleep by Seanan McGuire
None
5 stars
I received this book from Netgalley for free in exchange for an honest review. (I also preordered a copy, though, and I'll buy the audiobook when it comes out.)
Speaking of the audiobook, I feel like Seanan McGuire should probably send Mary Robinette Kowal a care package of throat lozenges. This is the first full-length book in the series not to be told from October's point of view (though Tybalt tells quite a few of the short stories in this universe).
Having Tybalt retell the story of Sleep No More is a cool artistic choice, and it allowed me to slow down on my first reading in a way I often don't with this series, since I was not in any rush to find out what was going to happen. I don't think I like Tybalt quite as much, as a narrator, as I do Toby--he comes off as just a tiny bit codependent and too worried about their unborn baby--but I still found it to be a five-star book.
