Jack Walcott is my absolute favorite of the Wayward Children, so I was happy to read more about her experience in the Moors. The content of the story was as lovely and haunting as I expected. It was great to get all these new details about the Moors and Dr. Bleak's backstory. However, this was probably the first time I felt a disconnect with Seanan McGuire's prose. I'm not entirely sure what made it hard to parse. Most likely the fact that every other sentence seemed way too long?
