I honestly don’t think I’ll ever get tired of this series. I loved how self-aware this one was and the direction the meta plot is going in.

I will read this series forever. Every entry continues to be wild and unique and riveting and I am glad this particular installment was a return to a group of already lover characters

I first crossed paths with this series one year ago (January 2023). I loved it so much that I 1) devoured the whole then-extant series in about 3 weeks; and 2) got a tattoo inspired by it. So I'm a very biased reader/reviewer.

That said, I really enjoyed this one. The quest plot is fun, and I loved McGuire's exploration of the metaphysics of Doors and world. These books are kind of standalone, but also kind of not, and some very interesting things are happening in the world(s) in this one.

It's not perfect. 
  • Seraphina's involvement, which could've been a rich complication, turned out to be a McGuffin. I would probably read a book about her.
     
  •  
    I really wanted more time given to Kade's reactions to both returning to Prism and Cora's departure. I desperately want a book about him.
     
  •  
    Christopher's chapter at the Door didn't go much of anywhere. I'd've liked to see him have to deal with Vineta or Yulia on his own.
     
On the whole, though, this is a delightful addition to a wonderful series.
