Mislaid in Parts Half-Known by Seanan McGuire

Every January for the past few years I patiently wait for the next book in this series to be released and have yet to be disappointed. I’m so glad we get to see Antsy’s story through!
Cora return home at the very end and Kade crying 😭 ugh bittersweet emotions and I cried with him
As usual, Seanan has a way of discussing various heavy topics in ways that don’t necessarily provide a lecture or talks at you. They do it in a story telling way that makes you stop and realize ahh in our world this is referring to transphobia, in Antsy’s case child sexual abuse, and family disowning you and in another case how passing on your trauma to others is unfair and wrong. Seanan often alludes to what it is occurring/ has occurred/ would have occurred and provides warnings in the beginning without ever going into detail but enough for you to understand the impact.

I just need to finally buy the whole series. I love them so much!
