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.

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

This is probably my favorite installment in the Wayward Children series so far. I can't say that Cora is my favorite character, but I was excited for the chance to see what the other school mentioned in prior books was like. I feel like McGuire's prose was muchhhh more under control this time and the dialogue and narration flowed nicely.

I wish there had been more doors and magic in this one, but I understand that isn't always the case in these books. I expect I might find it difficult to remember the plot of this one in a month or so, but I do know I enjoyed my time reading it.
