Much better than the spring book, although the abrupt ending and the parents forgetting everything again annoyed me. The end of a series deserves more than a two-page resolution, IMO.
My ranking of the books from best to worst ended up following my favorite seasons order, too: fall, winter, summer, spring. Coincidence? Maybe not. Katherine Arden is very good at setting and mood, which could be partly why I was less enthusiastic about the spring and summer books but loved the fall and winter ones.
