Reading this one brought the dark joy back to the series for me. While each of the Wayward Children go to the worlds that feel like Home to them, this one is twisted in just the right way that it was almost wrong. This world is a glorious mix of whimsy and shadow that lives in the hearts of every person, and Seanan McGuire does not shy away from shining a light on those darker subjects. 

Read the trigger warnings and proceed with caution. This is a dark cozy novella and dives deeper into the darker parts of the human soul than any of the other books in this series. As always, Seanan's writing is beauty.

Book 8 in the Wayward Children series (read them in order for the best experience!) brings a new twist to an already fantastic (literally) portal fantasy series. Antsy’s adventure and the revelations of the Shop Where the Lost Things Go is one of the best installments to date. I can hardly wait to see what is next.
