Another great story from McGuire. I love learning a little more about the worlds she’s created and can’t wait to read the next one.

This was by favorite in the series so far for sure! I really enjoyed revisiting characters from book one with some additional new characters and a new plot. I also appreciated the additional worldbuilding and the expanded thoughts on the whole portal fantasy system that’s going on in these books.

Some of the diversity felt a bit flat to me? Like I get that these books are too short for complex characterization, but Cora in particular felt more like Good Fat Representation than she did like a fully fleshed-out character. But I still really enjoyed the characters and the world(s) and the story and will be continuing with the series for sure!

While this book wasn’t my favorite in the series so far, I think it’s necessary and a perfect juxtaposition. The stark differences between Confection and The Moors from book 2 is key to understanding the characters and their different points of view. Loved getting to see more of the different worlds.
