I’m really not sure what to say about this one. I really enjoyed it. Was a nice respite from the world we live in. It was neat to see more about the Land of the Dead and learn how the statues came to be.
I knew, even before she was revealed, that Jill was going to be the antagonist. Just had that feeling as Nancy told the others what was happening… Jill’s revelation was completely unsurprising.
I’m always sad these are so short, but at the same time, I’m very glad things aren’t drawn out too much. Through Gates of Garnet and Gold was a solid entry into the Wayward Children series… also felt a little like an ending, given the very end I won’t be spoiling. It’s fine if that’s the case, too.
