Re: A Question about the October Daye series
Hmmm, not read the raven's shadow series, though I admit urban fantasy is less my thing. I only got into October Daye because my lady read one book, which turned out to be book 8, thought they were really good and wanted to read the hole series. We wound up reading them together as a sort of cooperative project, though of course some books are better than others.
Each book is indeed named for a shake spear quotation, and there are some Shakespearean nods in the text, for example one major character is called Tybalt, the Faerie King is Oberon and one of the two faerie queens is Titania.
however, I don't think there's any major underlying significance other than that McGuire likes her shake spear and wants to share it with others. She always gives the quotation that the title comes from as an epigraph to the book, which is nice to know since I confess while I have seen a few plays and wouldn't pass up the chance to see another (at least of the tragedies), I'm not exactly a Shakespeare buff myself, indeed my lady knows her Shakespeare much better than I do.
