The world of Faerie never disappeared: it merely went into hiding, continuing to exist parallel to our own. Secrecy is the key to Faerie’s survival—but no secret can be kept forever, and when the fae and mortal worlds collide, changelings are born. Half-human, half-fae, outsiders from birth, these second-class children of Faerie spend their lives fighting for the respect of their immortal relations.

Sounds pretty simple, right?

For most people, the story of their lives is just that: the accumulation of time, encounters, and actions into a cohesive whole. But for an unfortunate few, that day-to-day existence is affected - perhaps infected is a better word - by memetic incursion: where fairy tale narratives become reality, often with disastrous results.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 293
On a cold spring night in 1952, a huge meteorite fell to earth and obliterated much of the East Coast of the US, including Washington, DC. The ensuing climate cataclysm will soon render the Earth inhospitable for humanity, as the last such meteorite did for the dinosaurs. This looming threat calls for a radically accelerated effort to colonize space and requires a much-larger share of humanity to take part in the process. Elma York’s drive to become the first lady astronaut is so strong that even the most dearly held conventions of society may not stand a chance against her.

Fantastic as always
If you could sum up The Winter Long in three words, what would they be?
A fabulous story
What other book might you compare The Winter Long to and why?
Any of Seanan's books. She is consistently outstanding.
What does Mary Robinette Kowal bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Her voices have become like old friends. She makes listening like watching a movie, the characters just come alive.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
October is in every season.
Any additional comments?
Get Seanan's books....now.

What a great journey with October
I have been waiting for this book 8. "Indexing" was excellently written but it kept me waiting for October. Great story that lets you see how the first born of Faery are up to their mischief again, but October will show them again. Great Story--can't wait for book 9.

Just gets better
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes!! This series just keeps improving. It manages to stay fresh and not at all clichéd.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Winter Long?
Spoilers! I can't say without giving it away!
Which character – as performed by Mary Robinette Kowal – was your favorite?
Oh, goodness. I love her as Toby. She IS Toby. I do enjoy how she interprets everyone's favorite King of Cats, too.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes and Yes! I laughed, I cried, I sighed with relief and even let out a squeak of disbelief in a few places.
Any additional comments?
This installment answers a lot of questions, only to leave you asking a hundred more. Don't miss this book, or this series!

Love it
What did you love best about The Winter Long?
If you are a crazy Faye October Daye is your going to hunt you down.
What did you like best about this story?
Yes master I will love you and follow all your crazy demands as soon as I put you down like the rabid beast you are... What no I love you again wait no you must die. What do I love you or do I want to kill you I don't recall.
Have you listened to any of Mary Robinette Kowal’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Full stars
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Follow and die or fight and live now.I don't know... That is all you are getting out of me I have been up all night with a story.
Any additional comments?
Would love to see more of this story and some spin offs. Like the sea witch. Get the feeling her story would make me laugh and cry.

Very different
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who wasn't already a fan of the series. Without the context of the rest of October's story none of the vents in the story have much impact. This is pretty normal for a book this deep into the series, but this book ties more into previous events than others in the series.
What didn’t you like about Mary Robinette Kowal’s performance?
Considering it's the 8th book in the series it was very jarring to hear Kowal change the pronunciation of some in world terms. There were also a number of errors in the performance, the wrong character's name being said, voices mixed up, etc. Seemed like this performance was done without benefit of an editor, or any particular desire to read the book.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
I would not, since this book would make a pretty bad movie.
Any additional comments?
This book could badly use a rerecord, and an editor. If it didn't add so much to the series, I would say give it a pass. If you're already working through the series, just grit your teeth and try to ignore the errors in the performance.

Some narration issues
Any additional comments?
Another wonderful October Daye story, but the narration threw me off. I loved almost all the narration except issues but those made it a misery to listen to some of the time. I found the voice she used for Tybault to be dull, slow, flat and just plain odd. A flat affect...nothing sounded as if there were feelings behind his words. His nephew Raj vocals were unattractive and nasal. Now that he is a major character the voice really hurt the quality of the audio narration. The story is the usual fine quality.

Fantastic sereis I want more.
Any additional comments?
A wonderful series that brings something new to the urban fantasy genre that has been declining in good new stories. Not only is the story fresh and new, the characters interesting and flawed but the world building is what makes this book great. The plot as well has built upon itself in a wonderful way that has only gotten better from book to book. The only problem I have is that Tobi is hell bent on being a changeling. Why? We've never heard about her human friends she hung out with during book one, she doesn't interact with humans at all, she's cut herself off with her human family, all of her friends are fae, and every time you think she is going to FINALLY go full fae she gets out of making a decision. The only reason that I can see so far is to not let her become too powerful, hang the possibility over our heads to add suspense, show the fae world that changelings are important too, and let her have "humanity" whatever that means.

Wonderful
All the great characters: the king of cats, October and Quentin take on a really nasty villain. It's nice to have an adult heroine who has adult relationships and responsibilities instead of another teenager hero with no life experience.

Wonderful range of characters and story
If you could sum up The Winter Long in three words, what would they be?
Snarky action adventure
What other book might you compare The Winter Long to and why?
Can't think of one close, but The Grimrose Path
Have you listened to any of Mary Robinette Kowal’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, and she was just as solid here
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
More aha moments and smirks

Great story bad narration
If you could sum up The Winter Long in three words, what would they be?
Curve ball plot twist
What did you like best about this story?
I loved the plot twists that were unpredictable
What didn’t you like about Mary Robinette Kowal’s performance?
She didn't use the same voice for the characters that she did in all previous books and occasionally would switch the accent in the story causing confusion, the most irritating change is on how she pronounced the word Knowe in this book compared to the last seven.
