I have one more shift to get through and then it‘s a much overdue 5 day weekend off! Gee I wonder what my plans are going to be? 🧐

The last book of the series. Through it all I have loved the lyrical writing and it's take on Fairy Land.
An interlude in September's tale but just as richly told as the rest of the series. Looking good forward to the final book to see how thr author ties it all up.
It has been a darksome year.
I enjoyed the first 2 books more. 😞
Valente does have a flowery writing style which carries on to this book. As usual she draws from classic children books but the plot in this was a bit convoluted and September seemed to lack some agency in her choices.
This series has some of the most lyrical writing I have encountered in a middle grade / young adult fantasy writing. The author weaves together fairytales and adventure in a tale that completely hooked me as I was definitely invested in the ending.
Read as my #doublespin for August.
