    Summary

    Toby's out for the night and Quentin and the gang are having a nice hangout. Which is, of course, when something unexpected happens. Set vaguely around A Killing Frost.

    Happy Yuletide!

    ---

    The trouble started when there was a knocking on the front door.

    Chelsea paused her Metroid game mid-level and looked around the room, meeting the boys’ eyes in turn.

    “Did anyone order any pizza?” she asked.

    “Not me,” said Dean, shaking his head.

    Quentin frowned and looked at the half-open bedroom door. He could just see a sliver of the hallway. “I don’t think we have any outstanding death threats.”

    Summary

    Quentin and May were right. Tybalt and Toby needed a night out, even if Toby was being the jittery new mother with separation anxiety. She'd earned the right to worry. In the long list of things she'd worried about, though, this hadn't even made the top twenty.

    This is absolutely glorious. I love Tybalt confiscating Toby's phone, and the kitten on top of the fridge, and the way the author shows Tybalt's concern (through Toby' eyes) only as it's disappearing, and the radiant way he looks at them.

    This is absolutely lovely. I love this characterization of Raysel. And the idea of both Raysel and August reading Wayward Children is just perfect. And Raysel not knowing what a fridge is, and struggling to come to terms with her past, and not knowing how to be August's friend -- it's spot on.

    I love the repeated refrain, and the way love sustains Chenelo -- and will sustain Maia, too. The book of stories. Soup at dinner. And the way that prayerful refrain resonates differently at the end of the story than it did when the story began.

    Oh holy wow. This is tremendous. The author has got the language just right, and I love the details. The workers' library; the political intrigue; the yearning; the holy work of witnessing for the dead; the hopelessness that turns to hope; the something new that can bloom now in the space where grief used to reside.

    The market stokes Csevet’s memories of his own childhood—every child in the Elflands knows the joy of seeing the Winternight market set up, knowing the smells of sugared spiced nuts and savory grilled sausage will soon be drifting up in the freezing air. Even those without the pocket money to buy the little wooden toys—hand painted in bright colors and coated in shiny lacquer—could still delight in the displays of lanterns and garlands that looped over the streets and alleyways.

     

    Well, Csevet thinks, almost every child in the Elflands has fond memories of the Winternight markets.

    So many lovely details -- hot spiced wine and paper cones of spiced nuts and festive winter lights. And I love the line "It is his duty to serve his emperor, but it is the man who holds his loyalty." That distinction: it's his duty to serve whomever has the emperor's role, but his care for Maia is personal, not just institutional.
