"Thank you to Tor and Seanan McGuire for an audio ARC in exchange for my full, unbiased review!<br/><br/>4.5 stars…I have so many feelings.<br/><br/>When I got this arc I was on book five of wayward children so I binged a bunch of the books to catch up and I can confidently say this is one of my favorites of the series. You get more of Antsy’s story as well as way more world- building surrounding the doors and whatever entity or set of rules controls them. There’s also some progression in Eleanor’s story, and I really like the threads that this book is laying down for the series.<br/><br/>I like that these books can be read somewhat independently and that they’re fairly episodic but I’m LOVING the emergence of larger plot lines that span the series. Truly, I cannot wait to see where they all go.<br/><br/>For those who have been longing for Kade’s world, you get a peek in this book! The fact that we’re seeing it at all makes me think one of the next few will be more Kade-focused, and also that there will be a book focused on Eleanor coming up. <br/><br/>For this book in particular, I really enjoyed the themes of generational trauma, or rather trauma that’s passed down. All of these book deal with quite dark themes but this one really hit home for me. Also…there were dinosaurs. I didn’t know I needed dinosaurs. I also can’t wait to learn more about Harvest!<br/><br/>Y’all are gonna love this addition to the series and all the framework that it’s laying down."
