McGuire continues to amaze me with the Wayward Children series. I liked how this one gave some background to Jack and Jill in the first book. I do have some questions still, like what happened after they went back to the real world, is Alexis alive, and does Jack find her when they go back to the Moors? But I loved the representation in this one too, the queer rep so far in this series is great because it isn’t really questioned. It’s just how it is and who these kids are. I also greatly appreciated the backstory at the beginning and how quickly Jack and Jill basically switched rolls when they got to the Moors. That was really interesting to watch happen and was extremely relatable! McGuire continued her wise writing with a lot of detail. I don’t know how this was all packed into 187 pages! Can’t wait for the next.
