Lost in the Moment and Found by Seanan McGuire
5.0
I have very little expectations going into this book as we had only met Antoinette briefly in the previous book and only really to establish what made her special. I appreciated the author's note that preceded the story beginning as this book definitely deals with some incredibly difficult subject matter but there was a comfort in knowing
This book hurt but it also felt really affirming. The thing that really stood out for me was
Whilst the books in this series don't really dwell too much on the characters after they return "home" - although there is no saying that it wouldn't happen as the series is relatively young - I think it would be nice to be able to see... and maybe we will in future books?
I am excited to see what is next in store for the Wayward Children but sad that I will have to wait another year :(
