I find this series so bone-achingly delightful. The longing to fit in and belong is conveyed with such a delicate touch that you only realize its weight once you are done. We're reaching the point where every review for a subsequent book just rehashes what I liked about the previous one, so check those because McGuire's gift here is in telling the same sort of story over and over again--you never go home...until you do--while still making it raw and new and different in each iteration.
