As always, I'm overjoyed and eviscerated by the worlds McGuire creates in this series and the way she uses them to contort her characters.

This world still terrifies me, much the same way as a fae world, the log and bargaining would get me in so much trouble. The story makes me so sad, we know the outcome for Lundy is not good and it’s like waiting for the inevitable but still beautifully written

This series is incredible, all of the worlds intrigue me and completely terrify me at the same time.
I don’t think this would be the world for me but I loved the unique premise and the different logical world.
I really liked the main character and enjoyed following her story.
I feel like this could have been a little longer, I just feel like so much was left out of this story but I do enjoy how short they are, it’s such a great series I just want more.
The ending shook me, I didn’t see that coming at all and wished it had gone differently for her. I’m glad everything worked out for Moon though!
