This is probably my favorite installment in the Wayward Children series so far. I can't say that Cora is my favorite character, but I was excited for the chance to see what the other school mentioned in prior books was like. I feel like McGuire's prose was muchhhh more under control this time and the dialogue and narration flowed nicely. 

I wish there had been more doors and magic in this one, but I understand that isn't always the case in these books. I expect I might find it difficult to remember the plot of this one in a month or so, but I do know I enjoyed my time reading it.
