Quality

Mcguire continues to dazzle with the wayward children series.

It will be interesting to see how mcguire ends the series with the ninth and final entry in the series.

Price

The price is high, and it cost her something she can never get back.

Competitiveness

The fairy tale vibes are in full force, and i love the way seanan mcguire includes these fantastical elements with darker consequences.

Thank you to seanan mcguire for the content warning at the beginning of the book.
