Review:
I'm really glad that I decided to continue with this series. It was
not hugely on my radar when it was first announced, but I truly love
the story and characters, and I so badly want to know what happens
next every time. Plus, I just recently discovered the fandom for this
series, and I am so glad. (#NorEmma, yes.)
Emma and Lucas get to venture behind the locked door, and discover
what was left for them next. Mr. Minerva left a trail of clues for
them, and he traced his steps very carefully. We discover a whole
conspiracy behind the farms/orphanages, and what Mr. Minerva was
dealing with as he attempted to leave them clues and safe passage.
As they process and figure out how to deal with this new knowledge,
they still have to deal with the rich-monster playground they're
currently in. These kids are really too smart for their own good.
They're against tough enemies, but they know what they're doing, and
they're really good at predicting what's going to happen next.
I'm really curious to see what Emma does, in particular, during this
battle. We're still not sure what Ray and the man are doing at this
point. And then there's this huge plot twist/reveal in the middle of
this volume, and while I suspected, it was still a surprise and it
hit me so hard, and I am just so happy about it I can't even. So I
won't spoil it. But! So good!
