ETA: I've continued reading this series and want to point out I gave books four and five considerably higher ratings. Four stars each.

So the Luidaeg says of Toby, and wow, is she right. She also claims that all heroes are idiots and that October is the most passively suicidal person she’s ever met. The sea witch’s opinions echo my own.
