This might be my second fave of the series yet (the n°1 being In an Absent Dream).
I loved reading from Cora, we get Regan again, and Sumi, and it all makes sense and no sense at all, and it's beautiful & painful, wonderful & tragic.
The haunting of trauma, the lenghts one may be willing to go just to make it go away...
How knowing something doesn't mean that it's fixed, that the conceptual knowledge of something does not mean you know it by heart, it does not make it true for you.
The struggle between feeling good with your body while peers around you try to shame you for it. Turning your body into your own enemy.
Trudging the line between what makes a Hero and what makes a Monster, in Where the Drowned Girls Go we embark on an adventure with virtuose villans and wicked heroines.

We look at the other side of how the 'normal' world attempts to deal with children who went through doors and came back...different. While Eleanor fosters an acceptance and recognizes that many of those who came back didn't want to, Whitethorn leans heavily into denial and conformity. Cora, fresh off her adventures in the previous books, is trying to escape the Lovecraftian gods of the Moors and desperate for any escape.
The central tension of the book is whether Cora must give up her attachment to the world of the Trenches where she was strong, loved and beautiful to escape the Drowned Gods and it is beautifully sustained. We also finally see Regan again!
