Wow, cool!

I've requested it from my library, so I should get it soon. When I do, I'll check back in here. :handgestures-thumbup:

I'm still having trouble reading (usually, Seanan McGuire books are the antidote, so this is weird). On top of that, I've been sick, so reading has been sporadic, at best. :(


I have finally gotten a bit over halfway through (and I love it just like the rest). :)


I am, however, very nervous for what is going to happen!

Cool, I'm glad you're enjoying it! I'm getting the book from my library tomorrow and will check in after I started reading it.

Hope you feel better, Gravy!

Okay, so I have the book and read only a couple of chapters, but I completely forgot about Jill stealing Jack's body! I literally can't remember that part of the series...has it been that long?

Anyway, I love that Jack is in this story. It's so great to be back in this unique world :D

I finished and wow. I love this series so much!

I'll keep anything spoilery to myself for right now. I can't wait to find out who/what we get next (I want Christopher's story!).

It happened 'off screen,' so to speak, after the events from the first book (the timeline of these books is so complicated! :lol: ).

I mean, chronologically, it would have to look kind of like this.

In an Absent Dream (published 4th)
Down Among the Sticks and Bones (published 2nd)
Every Heart a Doorway (published 1st)
Beneath the Sugar Sky (published 3rd)
Come Tumbling Down (published 5th)

So probably while they were off in Candyland. :eusa-think:


We get another origin story next. Maybe Cora's? Hmmm...

I wonder if I can find anything out about it. *wanders off to search*

(Just found the info to the next book. New character (I think? I don't recognize the name, definitely not one of the main characters). Title is Across the Green Grass Fields. Out next January.)

Edit:
(Confirmed new character. Series contracted through book 8 (so far), so basically (fingers crossed nothing happens to change it) 3 more books guaranteed. :happy-partydance: )

Ah, that's good to know. It's interesting the way the author decided to write the series. I love this world, for sure, but chronologically it seems a little confusing, lol.
