Ghosts of Greenglass House

if you don't have full authority to arrest anyone, then by god you at least have the authority to sit on their unconscious body while waiting for the cavalry to arrive

Another comfort reread from Milford. I think the reviews that complain this one is more of the same are a bit unfair – a lot of the same elements from GGH appear, but there is a subtle change and growth in Milo that Milford aptly portrays through his creating a new role-playing character. The details about the latter were a little unbelievable, but maybe kids who are really into RPG do imagine themselves into the part so thoroughly? Anyway, in the context of the story I was fine with it.

Marzana was an intriguing character who could have played more of a role. It's good that she got her own book (The Thief Knot) and I hope we'll still see more of her, maybe together with Milo. I also enjoyed the lore and tradition around the Waits.

I'm going to stop now with Milford as I don't feel in the mood for the darker ones I have not yet read, The Boneshaker and The Broken Lands – but I'll get to them eventually.

This is one of my favorite places in the world. I'm so glad I got to go back and visit Greenglass House again. The mystery this time is more complicated. I figured parts of it out early, but other parts were surprising. That's a good mix. We get more history of the area. It is secretive and wonderful. These two books make me feel better just by holding them. I am so in love with these!
