T. Kingfisher is so creatively weird and I LOVE it! This story started out a little slower than I like, but once the characters find themselves in a new world behind the wall, it really picks up. Every twist and turn is so bizarre and creepy, it kept me on the edge of my seat. I really loved Thornhedge and Nettle & Bones creepy yet lovable characters and I missed that aspect in this story, but I still enjoyed the unlucky main character and her goofy barista neighbor. Well done
