Empty Smiles by Katherine Arden
3.0

Beware that the book is not as long as it seems because it ends with the first chapters of the previous three books. I was thoroughly engrossed in Empty Smiles as the kids finally face off against the smiling man, thinking I had another quarter of the book to go. And then it was just…over.

Overall, ending felt rushed and it felt like there was a missed opportunity to explore the backstory and intentions of the smiling man. More than delivers on the clown content though!
