Down Among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire

withloveandlights's review against another edition

The first part of this novella really focuses on parents who became parents for the wrong reasons and their children suffering the consequences of that decision. Hits way too close to home and I assume this would have further implications based off of their interactions within the Moors. Didn’t want to stick around to find out.

This makes me want to go back and read the first book again. I did get confused about who was Jack and who was Jill, but I got it eventually. I loved the found family (Dr. Bleak❤️), the love story (sweet Amelia), and the loyalty and love in Jack. McGuire’s writing is just so good.

Content warning for detailed

grooming of a child. It's not explicitly sexual, but there's suggestive descriptions of the relationship and hints towards a future romantic one.
