I'm very sad to report that this is my least favorite in the series so far.
One of my favorite things about the Wayward Children series is that each book is usually following a different character. However, up until this point all of the characters have been students or were students at Eleanor West's school. In this particular story, we're following Regan who is just a beautiful little soul that gets some distressing news from her parents about herself and when she confides in her best friend - and like what an actual twat this girl is - she finds her door and is whisked off to a new world.
We follow Regan as she lives amongst the Centaurs and they become her family - Chichory is THE CUTEST - but soon she finds that she is destined for more and we follow her on her way to self-discovery.
While I loved Regan, her world, and the characters, and the story in general; this really just feels like a 'filler' to me. There isn't really much plot, its just all about her finding her found family, which of course we love because duh!
The ending had me mad as heck and I hope that perhaps she'll return one day so that we can learn more about her, but until then..solid three for me.
