Summary/Review:
In the second volume of the Fairyland series, September returns to Fairyland only to discover that her shadow, along with the shadows of many other inhabitants, has been stolen by Halloween, the Hollow Queen. This theft is causing chaos and imbalance in Fairyland-Above, leading September on a journey to Fairyland-Below to restore equilibrium. Along the way, she faces new challenges, encounters old friends, and discovers deeper truths about herself and the interconnectedness of both realms. Valente’s richly imaginative prose and whimsical yet profound storytelling continue to enchant, making this sequel a compelling continuation of September’s adventures.
