I enjoyed this, but not as much as previous books in the series. I think overfamiliarity may be setting in, and it may also be partly to do with this being the first one I listened to as an audiobook. However, I did think the epilogue weakened the ending somewhat and wished I had stopped after the final "regular" chapter.

More like 2.5 stars. Disappointing to me. I was so excited for this book bc the Jack and Jill one is my fav from the series (5stars for me) but this one barely had Jill. Every character was annoying to me. The ending made me so angry and was rushed. Jill is clearly the superior more interesting character and yet we barely got to see her when she’s the main antagonist .

Re-Read in 2023 I’m not okay, they deserve to be happy sisters. Another great installment. Don't really know what to say about it, so here are some quotes This time, especially the chapter titles were amazing: ~Where the drowned Gods go~ ~Write your Name in Lightning; Shame the Sky~ ~Wrapped in Lightning, Weeping thunder~ And the only non-spoiler quote I really liked: "Don't you go getting logical rules on my illogical life plans"

Just as magical as every atom in these universes is, it is magical to be reminded that even while wandering your life, the memory of reading these novellas only lurking subconsciously, whenever I return to this series it welcomes me anew, enchants me with its originality and bone-deep sadness and spectacular characters. This is so inventive, I swoon each and every time until the thought dulls, only to be reinforced when I read another instalment. Mind-blow-ing! TW: murder, resurrections, a tiny bit of gore (well, it's The Moors, you know), non-consensual body swap, descriptions of OCD (to whose representation I cannot speak), powerful metaphor for disability/chronic illness as it relates to having a certain reservoir of energy available and to being dependent on medicine and machines to stay alive (to which I can speak and I personally appreciated it), selective mutism and signing (and one instance in the beginning where that is not immediately understood as such), brief mention of transphobic parents to one of the ensemble members, more general vibes of xenophobia inherent in the premise of the series
