Winner: 2022 Hugo Award for Best Series

“Outstanding… Throughout Cora’s harrowing adventures, McGuire’s sense of whimsy never falters… The result will captivate both longtime Wayward Children fans and new readers.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
"The message of owning one's truth instead of losing one's individuality will resonate. Highly recommended." —Library Journal
