Down Among the Sticks and Bones – Seanan McGuire
Down Among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars Down Among the Sticks and Bones is the second book in the Wayward Children series, but chronologically it functions more like an origin story for the first book. As this book was assigned for class, I did not read the…
