Ok, I think this may now be my favorite of this series so far. It touched on so many issues like fatphobia & bullying and how isolating those things can make a person feel- and how deep down a dark patch it could lead you. How important it is that every child feel loved and seen.

I also loved the twist with the Whitethorn Institute twist. I had a feeling something shady was going on there. The more I read, the more I got to feeling like it was more a conversion-therapy-esque situation instead of an actual school trying to help kids move on from their traumatizing other world adventures. I’m so glad Cora and friends got out, but I really hope they go back someday to overthrow “Whitethorn” and make it a better place for children who went to bad worlds. =(

It took a while to get into this one, too.  But I liked that McGuire actually shows Cora processing the trauma of her time in the Moors.  Her desire to run away from what happened is completely understandable, as is her desperation to get away from the Drowned Gods.

It was nice to see Regan again.
