Lost in the Moment and Found by Seanan McGuire
4.0
Another solid addition to the Wayward Children saga, with great expansions to the lore and to the beloved cast.
This setting was one of my favorites yet: a quirky not-so-little shop, home to lost things, a talking bird, nexus of countless new worlds to explore. Also what I'm pretty sure was a cameo appearance by (view spoiler) that really got me thinking about how the Doors work, beyond what Antsy explicitly finds out.
Maybe it's because I read this in a few sittings rather than straight through as I've tended to do with the previous books, but I felt like the pacing was a little more uneven and the plot a bit denser in comparison — particularly in the last quarter or so. Thematically I found it more ambiguous, too. None of these are failings, per se, but it just felt different than the rest of the series.
