I loved The Diviners series, so I was excited to read a new book by Libba Bray! And it was an interesting one! The book followed three stories from three different time periods, which felt disjointed at first but eventually came together in the end. In my opinion, the 1940 Kleinwald chapters were the strongest whereas the 1980 West Berlin and 2020 New York chapters were kind of boring. Also, this book didn't hold back when it came to social justice! It showed how history is repeating itself, but we can still fight back and make a difference.
