Across the Green Grass Fields is yet another beautiful installment of Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children Series, reminding us yet again that there's no right way to be a girl (or a boy or an enby).
Book six revolves around Regan, a young intersex girl who loves horses with all her heart. As a former horse girl myself, I can relate to Regan. Horses are awesome. She is also struggling with toxic friendships, bullying, and shame. Also exceedingly relatable. Growing up is rough.
When Regan finds her door she walks into a magical land full of horse-like creatures and learns that the best way for her to fit in is to be her truest self.
I thought this book was lovely. It read a bit younger than some of the other books in this series, and didn't pack quite the emotional punch of my favourites, but it was still enjoyable and deeply meaningful.
