All so, we love the author, we love the series. The cover is absolutely stunning.

All that said, this has a very different "feel" from Small Spaces and Dead Voices. I am not quite sure how to describe it? It felt sort of like...a key change in a song. An interlude. A book that needs to be there to get from Book 2 to Book 4 but not really something that stands on it's own or has it's *own* single purpose? If that makes any sense at all (it doesn't, it's fine).

We enjoyed the story, though, and will absolutely be there whenever the 4th book drops.

(I homeschool and listened with my 15, 13, and 7 year old)
