Christopher's backstory AKA we finally get to see Mariposa.... in the form of a short story. Dang, I really liked finally seeing this world. And I want more! The world of Mariposa is glitteringly spooky and richly vivid – a beautiful combination.

The story of Christopher and the Skeleton Girl is equal parts sweet and sad, despite knowing the outcome from the get-go. I just hope they both get more book time in the next volumes.

Ah, Mariposa deserves its own novella, honestly.
