Now that the crossroads have been destroyed, sheās redoubling her efforts. Itās time to bring him home, dead or alive.
Preferably alive, of course, but sheās tired, and at this point, sheās not that picky. Itās a pan-dimensional crash course in chaos, as Alice tries to find the rabbit hole sheās been missing for all these decadesāthe one that will take her to the man she loves.
Who are her allies? Who are her enemies? And if she manages to find him, will he even remember her at this point?
Itās a lot for one cryptozoologist to handle.
Review: I’m always curious to get into a new Seanan McGuire novel and I happily dove into this new novel.
This time, we follow Verity’s grandmother: Alice. She who has not aged because she goes from dimension to dimension to find her husband who has been missing for 50 years. Will she finally find him now that the crossroads have disappeared? This new quest may bring her what she has been searching for, but she will also discover revelations she would rather never have known.
I was curious to discover Alice’s story, but in the end I have to say that I found it harder to get hooked on this new novel. I found it less fast paced, but it may also be that we are moving away from the main plot with the Covenant and that the characters are perhaps less iconic than our three Prices.
Either way, it was a nice new volume and I can’t wait to see who we follow in the next one.

Definitely a cover and title that catches the eye. A shame that this instalment wasn’t a strong contender for you. For myself , having googled these novels, I’m not sure if I’d enjoy them or not.
