Beneath the Sugar Sky by Seanan McGuire
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
4.5
This was by favorite in the series so far for sure! I really enjoyed revisiting characters from book one with some additional new characters and a new plot. I also appreciated the additional worldbuilding and the expanded thoughts on the whole portal fantasy system that’s going on in these books.
Some of the diversity felt a bit flat to me? Like I get that these books are too short for complex characterization, but Cora in particular felt more like Good Fat Representation than she did like a fully fleshed-out character. But I still really enjoyed the characters and the world(s) and the story and will be continuing with the series for sure!
