Nothing happens in about 75% of this book. There are SOME things that progress the plot but honestly this and iron flame could have been one book if she edited out all the useless meandering lol

*Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an early readers copy in exchange for an honest review.*
Adrift in Currents Clean and Clear is yet another installment in the Wayward Children series. This book follows Nadia as we see her in childhood discovering her door.
I love that we get these vignettes into the "before" of all the children who attend the school that we're introduced to in book 1. Nadia's story makes me feel so terrible for her from page one. I loved the slow build up of us actually meeting Nadia on page and the way that her birth is literally this starting point for setting her on the path that inevitably leads her to her door.
Nadia's story just makes me feel for her through all of the beats of her story. I love how unique her world was to all the other worlds we have learned about so far. I love that we get to go into these worlds and discover them through the eyes of the characters and this is one world I would love to see again for sure.
This book was heartfelt and adventerous. A little sad and a little happy. There was wimsy and talking animals but there were also hardships. So much was packed into this novella and I cant wait to see more from Nadia again.

This was so cute and made me laugh a couple times! Wasn’t a fan of some stuff at the end but overall really cute and kinda funny.
