4.5

This book honestly reads like a slow-burn Wenclair fanfic, and I mean that in the best way. The way Wednesday describes and thinks about Enid is chef’s kiss—it feels so true to her character. You can tell Enid matters to her, even if Wednesday isn’t ready to admit it outright. Her emotions are there, just under the surface, and the writing brings them out perfectly without ever making her feel out of character. 
 
Seeing everything from Wednesday’s perspective gives us a side of her we rarely get in the show. She might come across as cold or unfeeling, but really, she just processes her emotions differently—quietly, and in her own way. This book gives Wednesday even more depth and challenges the way readers see her. After reading this, I hope we continue to get more novelizations of Wednesday as new seasons are released.
