I had Philosophical Differences with Toby and with the narrative— let's just say, I really hope Seanan is intentionally sidelining the humans because Miranda appears to be my bias and I feel like the POVs are giving her short shrift. Also sometimes the narrative's take on mommy issues made me break out in hives a bit.
But it's a compelling story and I read it in about 24 hours, so I can't complain about the plot or the pacing. As always, Seanan McGuire is a master at writing a tight story that keeps you turning pages, whatever my personal nitpicks are about the use of themes.
And, just because it annoyed the shit out of me, can I just note that San Francisco hasn't used metal garbage cans in decades?
