I need to go back and read the first three books again. I was too confused about who all the characters were. I thought it was more standalone than it actually is.

This wasn't my favorite Elsie Silver, but I still devoured it. The trauma resolved a bit too neatly for me, as someone who experienced emotional familial abuse.
This story felt like one she has told before in her other books. I still enjoyed it - it just wasn't new

Younger me would have loved this one. Series of Unfortunate Events meets Hansel and Gretel = super captivating. I read this in just 2 settings. The illustrations were a great touch.
Definite saving for a read aloud in the future.

It took me about 200 pages to really get into this book. But once I devoted myself to it, I got sucked in. The romance aspect was rushed, as were some of the motivations. However, it didn't detract from the story for me. Book 2 is on hold!

Talk. About. A. Book. Hangover.
This one just shattered me. My heart broke over and overfor Ephraim and Sefi and Sevro and Mustang and all of my friends. I'm so scared for the last book. I don't want it to be over and I'm scared for what's to come. I think books 4-6 are shockingly stronger than 1-3!
I'm just wrecked.

This just didn't land for me. It was more academic than I was expecting and a bit disparaging to established religious practices. Her stance was just odd for me. I'm glad to scratch this off my TBR, but won't read it again
