SILVER AND LEAD October Daye, Book 19

Mary Robinette Kowal's narration of the newest installment of the award-winning October Daye series shines with her characterizations and delightful timing. When Sir October "Toby" Daye, Knight errant and Hero of the Realm, is called upon to investigate the looting of the royal vaults, she answers the call despite being late in her pregnancy. Kowal's voices and accents bring this complex mystery to life. With fae creatures galore; Toby's husband, the King of Cats; and even the powerful sea witch, Kowal switches characters adeptly and keeps the listener engaged. A joy even if one isn't familiar with any of the previous 18 books in the series. C.F. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2025]
