This was a short but very sweet read. It's been a while since I've read a story that is fundamentally about the bond between two sisters and I love how Fen grows throughout the book. My favourite part was how the houses reflected their state of mind with the later houses being a bit of a mess. I also quite liked the descriptions of the lighthouse and who lives there as Fen starts to become homesick and the way they learn how to take care of themselves in the wild. 

P.S. I love the cover of the paperback. If you look closely, it holds a little secret: the emblems of the houses are printed in gloss on the cover.
