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

I also loved seeing the effect the Moors had on Cora. So far we've only seen the effect the Moors had on Jack and Jill, who are both already morbid personalities who clearly belong there. Cora however is scarred by her short stay there, and I felt that really emphasized the fact that the doors are not necessarily doors to good or perfect places but rather to your perfect place.
Overall I can't wait for the next book in the series to come out, and I'm still holding out hope for Kade's story to be published soon.
