A surprisingly unique fantasy fiction book! I really enjoyed Jack the cat and his relationship with the Pride, as well as the other bizarre magical "Crag" creature characters (not sure I'll ever look at rats the same way again, though). The take on faeries was also one I haven't seen before, which I found fascinating - it makes me wish there were some drawings to accompany the writing!

I found Emma's parents to be annoying - I mean really, you're adults, get a grip! But thankfully they weren't too invasive in the story, so they were ignorable. Emma herself acted older than her age a lot of the time, but given the circumstances it's understandable; trauma does tend to make you grow up faster.
