This fifth book in the Wayward Children series picks up shortly after the second book, Down Among the Sticks and Bones, ended. It follows Jack as she tries to get her body back from her twin Jill. Perhaps I've read too many of these in a row for I felt less enthused about this story than the others. Perhaps I didn't want to revisit Jack and Jill and was looking forward to something a little newer. The prose is still trememdous. However, I thought the plot was less interesting. The world-building also wasn't quite up to par, as it had already been done in the second book. Still, this book got a lot of love from the fans, as it was nominated for Hugo this year in the Novella category.
