This outing in the Wayward Children stories sees an ending of sorts to the story of Jack and Jill – the twins who had found their way to the Moors. Jack had had to sacrifice Jill to get them back to the Moors, but all was not lost, because Jack’s mentor on the Moors can restore life. So when Jack returns to the school, in Jill’s body, her friends journey back with her to save the Moors from Jill.
I enjoyed this story, but I’ll admit, I didn’t necessarily need to see more of what happens to the twins – their story is so macabre that I don’t want to know there’s what seems to be a definite end to it. I do hope the author brings us some more stories of the other students we haven’t covered yet in the books I have not read yet.
