Cora is one of my favorite characters in this series so it was nice to get more page time with her. It was interesting to have this other school which is pretty much the opposite of what we're used to from the Wayward Children school.

Cora has been tormented by the voices of the Drowned Gods from the world of the Moors ever since returning from the quest the group of friends went on in an earlier book. It has worn her down and she is desperate to forget all of the doors and experiences she has had in other worlds. She has heard of the existence of another school for children who have returned from their other worlds through the doors. Against Eleanor's advice, she insists that she needs to transfer to Whitehall, where the approach is to enforce by strict discipline the children to deny and then forget their time in other worlds. Cora believes that this is the only way to break the connection to anything not in this world and be safe.

It is very interesting to learn about the other school and how it is run. The story is emotional and dark, par for the course in this series. It widens the worldbuilding and sets up many possibilities for more stories. Content warnings for fatphobia, suicide, and suicidal ideation.

What I liked:
- a look at the Whitethorn Institute
- more characters/more looks in doors
- Sumi was a highlight in this book
- revisiting Regan so quickly.
- a peak with at the potential relationship with Cora and Kade
- Pushed the plot forward/added to our cast of typical characters.

Not My Favorite:
- For such a huge shift in the “at school book” style, it felt shorter than normal
- spent too much time building up to Cora leaving, not enough time at the Institute
