reread 31/12/22 - didn't hit me as hard as the first (obviously by the review below) did. It actually surprises me to see that review, because I genuinely found myself wondering if I had even read this before or just pretended I did. Still loved it, but, obviously I was in a very specific place the first time.

WOW WOW WOW
I consider Down Among the Sticks and Bones my favourite of the Wayward Children novels... but this is a VERY close second. I absolutely loved this. So many things that were narrated for Lundy really hit me and made me pretty emotional. There's a lot to be said about girls and people who just want to love the people without worrying what kind of world they're in. Who wants a world who will only take as much as she can give it. 
This novel is considered the fourth (4th) novel in the Wayward Children series, but much like Down Among the Sticks and Bones, you can read it without having read the other novels. 
BIG thanks to Tor.com for sending me an advanced copy in exchange for me being a bookseller. I contacted them on Instagram and they were lovely!
