Across the Green Grass Fields by Seanan McGuire

2.0

The Wayward Children books are usually the first books I read every year and since I didn’t read at all last year I thought I should pick this one now before book 7 comes out on the 4th.

And this was… disappointing, but I already knew it would be since I’ve been begging for a Kade origin story for a while now and instead of that we keep getting introduced to new characters. Which in theory is fine but this whole little story in particular was just so… bleh?

Like yeah the horses were nice, although a little weird for me since I never was a “horse girl”, and Regan being an intersex girl is cool rep but the story was boring and nothing really happened in the end?

She’ll obviously show up in the next school book and that’s the reason why we got her origin story but, I don’t know, I still wish we got to read about the other children first.

Definitely my least favorite in the series, which is something I never knew would happen considering how much I hated Beneath the Sugar Sky but oh well.

I’m just waiting for the next Down Among the Sticks and Bones but at this rate it seems like it’s never going to happen. How sad.

I wanted this to be Kade’s book SO BADLY but it’s fine I know I’ll love it lol.
