This book is very skewed towards white people. While POC were interviewed and included, you can see from the table at the end of the book how uneven the numbers are.

Wow, what an amazing volume. We get to explore more of the characters true feelings and reasonings behind their actions, while also getting some incredible fight scenes

My favorite books in this series always tend to be the ones where the main character is going to and exploring their world, versus the ones of them being in The Home for Wayward Children. 

I really enjoyed this one. We have a main character who's adopted from Russia and has a limb difference. I loved how the book explored these different facets of this character's life. The endings of these books are never truly happy, but the ending of this one was fitting.
