3.0
Overall, this is (at this point) my least favorite of the Wayward Children Series. It's great just like the previous 3; however, I just didn't connect with this one as much as I did the others. That being said, it's written just as well as the others and has the same aesthetic, along with a wonderful emotional not-so-subtle subplot of the importance of hope. McGuire really does some magical things with such few words, and she created yet another book with an inspiring, yet sad, story surrounding these kids who are just holding out hope that they get to go home. Truly lovely. Onto the fifth book!
