Yet another on "One Salt Sea"

I was going to say that Oops, it looks like two people who hate Daye might be ready to join forces. They may not realize it but as I said they both hate her.

But:

Oh, oh, big time.   Daye just got a couple of prophecies, actually a few and at least one will be bad news. And another two almost seem to contradict each other except they might be talking about two different people.

I don't want to say too much here but one major character might be getting ready to get killed off, and Daye will have to sacrifice something but that last is to be expected in this type of story.


As usual most of what was said probably doesn't mean good things for Daye. Again that is to be expected. But in this case a couple might be good.

More on Seanan McGuire's latest

I want to add something to my kinda critique of "One Salt Sea".


McGuire includes little things that add to the story telling. Such as there is a fea who is half human and half octopi like the sea witch in "The Little Mermaid". McGuire has the MC describe how this person moves in a dry building. A short scene within a scene but still neat. I need to remember about those types of little things.
