A wunderful addition to the series! Silverborn dives into some more complex themes as Morrigan and Unit 919 take on a murder mystery in the Silver District, home to Nevermoor's wealthiest citizens. As Morrigan's world continues to expand, there's a lot of good groundwork laid here in terms of the politics and history of Nevermoor. I really enjoyed Morrigan's interactions with Squall, and I look forward to seeing how their dynamic progresses. Family was at the heart of this novel, though, with Morrigan and Jupiter navigating her newfound relatives. I can't recommend the Nevermoor series enough.

This book had a bit of a different feel to me--for one, it follows a mystery plot line rather than a trial or quest type plot line. There were parts of that I liked, and parts that felt like we were detouring from the overarching plot of the series. Plus, while Townsend so perfectly encapsulates the emotional highs and lows of being a emerging teenager--the shift away from some of the characters that I absolutely love towards some ones who are less lovable was a little hard to deal with--so I'm hoping for more from the favorite characters from the Ducalian and even more Unit 919 in the next book! Still love the series and the narration is absolutely amazing. Definitely my favorite middle grade fantasy series of all time right now!
