I've read the first four books in the Wayward Children series so far, and this one has been my favorite! I loved the classic/gothic horror vibes and really found myself relating hard to both Jack and Jill. I'm also really enjoying McGuire's writing. She's so good at writing characters that you can feel for, and her imaginative stories are just a ton of fun to read, even when they hurt your feelings a little.
Why did she have to do poor Jack dirty like that tho!?
I'm really enjoying this series and can't wait to continue!
