Why did I wait so long to read this??? Magical worlds and children. Something like Alice in Wonderland meets Miss Peregrine's. Dark and twisted. This is TOTALLY up my alley. I loved nearly everything about this book. A good diverse set of characters and a really fun atmosphere (hello creepy boarding school feel!).
This is a great setup book for what I expect to be a magnificent series. There is a lot of world-building that has to be done in a very short book. The pacing is super quick, so the whole read felt something like a whirlwind. There was a bit more compression and lack of development than I would have liked and it absolutely could have been fleshed out into a full length novel, but I am hooked for the long haul. I want more of this world, more of these characters, and just MORE.
