hell yes!!!!!!! I was so excited to find an e-arc of this on Edelweiss. I loved [b:Every Heart a Doorway|25526296|Every Heart a Doorway (Wayward Children, #1)|Seanan McGuire|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1431438555s/25526296.jpg|45313140] so much and reading this just fleshed out that world (and made me go re-read Every Heart bc I realized my memory of it was faded and re-reading it with this context in mind made me love it even more). This made me feel unsettled the entire time, but like, in a good way. Like even though this is a prequel, so I knew Jack and Jill would survive this book....at what cost?! Ahh, poor precious babiesss.
