McGuire really knows how to write an amazing story, wow. I utterly love the character of Jack in the Wayward Children series; I relate to her so much, and that only developed further in this next book. The mental health rep, specifically OCD, is stellar as usual. I also greatly enjoyed knowing what happened after books 1 and 2 in the series with Jack, Jill, and Alexis. The queer rep is great in this one as usual too. The overly descriptive atmosphere of the Moors, and Jack and Alexis' entrance back to Eleanor West's home are done in such detail that you feel like you're taking this adventure with them. I hope we learn what happened with Dr. Bleak at the end, but I appreciated not being left with a lot of questions at the end of this one. Lastly, I loved the parts throughout the book, but especially at the beginning, of Jack's struggle with being in Jill's body and all that comes with that in relation to her being herself and her mental health. I hope we see more of Jack in later books!

This one didn't quite keep my attention and I'll be honest I don't really remember a lot besides

Jack and Jill switching bodies multiple times?

Jack and Jill are back in this book. Or Jack is back in Jill's body. Jack returns to Eleanor West's house in desperate need of help to get her body back. The adventure goes from there.

Loved this installment of the Wayward Children series, even though it will probably be the last adventure featuring Jack my beloved. I preferred the quest in this book to the one in Beneath the Sugar Sky, it felt more grounded and was darker. Wheelhouse items: resurrection gfs, body swapping, ragtag team, Gothic horror, tragedy, adventure, journey to another world.

I really like Jack and Jill's storyline so I'm glad we got a return to it, even though I don't know if it was 100% merited. I think I enjoy the origin stories more than I do the romps with the whole cast of characters, and I would have rather had Kade's or Christopher's origin story than to go back to the Moors. There's also the issue of the corny and unnatural dialogue that I bring up in every review; I'm mostly used to it by now, but every now and then there's a particularly cringy line that throws me off.

I enjoy that these are nice, easy reads for me to knock out on my commute to and from work, and I always like when McGuire does the narration for her own books. I don't find myself getting bored or not wanting to continue this series. I love that these are standalones within the same world so it feels like a fresh slate every time I start a new one.
