As much as I love seeing all the characters on a quest together, I think I'm partial to the stories that center around one kid's journey through their door. I find them a lot more emotional and I think McGuire has a particular talent for exploring childhood in a beautifully nostalgic and bittersweet way. Although there were some great moments here, this book maybe didn't hit quite as hard as some of the previous one—especially #8, Lost in the Moment and Found, which I believe is one of my favourites.

I'm glad that I was able to see Antsy again so soon, considering how much I adore her as a character, but since it was a lot more plot-based than character-based, I felt like I was maybe missing a little something.

That being said, I still love these children will all my heart, and I can't wait to keep following them down all their heartbreaking stories and adventures.

Thank you so much to Tordotcom. I received an advance review copy of this book for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
