Read the foreword by McGuire. She gives content warning, but also assures you that before anything bad happens, Antsy runs.avocadosocks's review against another edition

"People who can't change aren't really perfect, and no matter how much we love it somewhere, that doesn't mean it's good for us."
I've been catching up with this series and I decided to read the most recently published sequel as well so that I'm finally up to date. Mislaid In Parts Half-Known is already book number nine of this YA urban fantasy/magical realism series, and it's a direct sequel of book eight with plenty of spoilers for the other books as well. This means it's definitely important to read the books in order! That said, I really liked that we got to see how Antsy's story ends in this sequel. Mislaid In Parts Half-Known is partly set at Eleanor West's School and partly a quest set in multiple worlds. As always, I prefer the quest parts, and while it was great catching up with some of the characters, it also kind of distracted from the plot itself. There were actually too many references to past quests and things the characters did, and it kind of made my head spin. Also, when did Sumi get so mean? I would have loved more focus on just Antsy and maybe Kade, as the story didn't really feel all that cohesive as some of the previous sequels. The quest itself also wasn't quite as challenging as I thought it would be... Although I still enjoyed following the characters and I liked how things were wrapped up. All in all it wasn't my favorite Wayward Children book, but still a pretty good read.

Let's talk about the dinosaurs. Delightful, no notes. Feathered, brightly-colored, and fluffy, plus viciously terrifying.
