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.

I wasn‘t feeling this at all. I definitely didn‘t enjoy it because it wasn‘t set in a different, more whimsical world. Didn’t like Cora at all. I feel like the actual plot of this book would have been better if it was for a longer book.
