I keep saying, this one was a ok for me, both in the aesthetic uses of the House, the lore of the Starlings, the tension of capitalism and people deciding who family really is. The parallels of Arthur and Opal pushing away the people they love because they believe they alone can fix their problems. E Starling's children's book as a character in its own right. I would read four more of these in a heartbeat.
Graphic: Grief, Car accident, and Death of parent
Moderate: Racism and Fire/Fire injury
Minor: Slavery and Medical content
