When Rini lands with a literal splash in the pond behind Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children, the last thing she expects to find is that her mother, Sumi, died years before Rini was even conceived.
3 starsSometimes that’s all you can do. Just keep getting through until you don’t have to do it anymore, however much time that takes, however difficult it is.The book was definitely more fun and light hearted than the previous two books. The representation in this book is amazing as always and I also really enjoy the diversity. I also love the new and also recurring characters as well and the world building in general.As always, the writing is awesome and everything is so easy to read.However, it did become boring and predictable at times and I did miss the creepy and dark aspect within the previous two books. Overall, it was a quick and enjoyable read, but it isn’t my favourite book out of the series.
