I really like Jack and Jill's storyline so I'm glad we got a return to it, even though I don't know if it was 100% merited. I think I enjoy the origin stories more than I do the romps with the whole cast of characters, and I would have rather had Kade's or Christopher's origin story than to go back to the Moors. There's also the issue of the corny and unnatural dialogue that I bring up in every review; I'm mostly used to it by now, but every now and then there's a particularly cringy line that throws me off.

I enjoy that these are nice, easy reads for me to knock out on my commute to and from work, and I always like when McGuire does the narration for her own books. I don't find myself getting bored or not wanting to continue this series. I love that these are standalones within the same world so it feels like a fresh slate every time I start a new one.
