This continues to be a really fun series. I am in love with the atmosphere and the number of magical lands Seanan McGuire seems to be able to construct.
The stories are always nice and magical/fantastical, but with an underlying more serious message about inclusion...and I LOVE that. This time around we're dealing with an intersex character and I think it was handled extremely well. I cannot comment from a direct perspective, but for me the language used and the situations presented felt realistic and tastefully done. I enjoyed the characters and the political interaction metaphor.
The ending was a bit rushed for me and didn't feel quite as smooth as the rest of the book or even McGuire's typical style, but I still overall really enjoyed my read and will of course be continuing the series.
