Review of 'Beneath the Sugar Sky' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Thus far, this is hands down my favorite Wayward Children book. While I was a tad lukewarm on the new characters, other than Sumi's daughter, it didn't detract from my overall enjoyment. In fact, I would love to see a book in the future exploring the new POV character from this book more in-depth.

I also found myself frustrated when Kade or other people from Logic worlds got upset about how things worked in the Nonsense worlds. One line in particular stood out, "Some things seemed like a misuse of magic, and this was one of them." How's it being misused? It isn't YOUR magic.

I think my door would go to a nonsense world.
