This next novella in Catastrophe Incoming shows this series is getting better with each book.
Oh how I loved this book. Wren was already a favorite character of mine in the previous books and I am so happy she gets the full opportunity to shine in this one. Seeing more of her thoughts, her wants and all that she feels was so much fun making me wish this was twice as long. Wren is a character that struggles with her self worth and this is one of her biggest struggles in this book. But with this it's so great to see Lark have full support in her and Reverie as a new friend being there for her too. Together they made for an amazing support team that made me feel all happy inside.
Wren also grew as a character so much in this story. I love good character growth and she really showed that. There was a lot of mental struggle for her at the start, and there still is at the end. But she also grows a lot and slowly gets a bit more comfortable with being loved and complimented. This was amazing to be a part of and made me love her even more.
The story this time takes place in a village they come across while trying to find Nightingale. The setting of a small town was really fun as a setting and gave great atmosphere to the story. It was also a lot of fun to read the interactions with the local villagers. They really were a supportive community and those kind of places always warm my heart. Wren, Lark and Reverie doing everything they can to help them makes this story full of kindness between people (except for Ferdinand, he's always a menace).
I also want to mention that I absolutely love this cover and the way Wren is brought to life in the illustration.
Concluding I feel that this is the best book in the series so far and I cannot wait where the story continues onward to.
I received an eARC and this was my honest review.
