You know, at this point I am just so in love with every installment in this series.
Across the Green Grass Fields is another beautiful story in Wayward Children! I loved that there is an intersex character here and it just amazed me how this book showed us that there's no one way to be a girl, that we don't have to conform to everything—especially when it comes to gender identity and expression. I do wish it was tackled more though, and that I wish we could have seen the main character Regan truly embrace herself and tell others off (*cough* Laurel *cough*).
The world-building and the writing style, of course, was amazing. (What more did I expect, really)

"We can't stand here all day and expect the world to come to us."
I also loved that plot twist in the end, as well as the little yet important lessons we're left with at the end of the story.
"We have always held the land above the one who rules it."
There was something so poetic and disturbing in that plot twist, and I guess this wouldn't be a Wayward Children book without its dark and whimsical atmosphere. I loved it, of course!
