Mislaids in Parts Half-Known ★★ 1/2
This last entry in the series is a bit different from all the other novellas in that it is a continuation of the last book "Lost in the Moment & Found". I appreciate the stories and that they always have a message behind them, but this particular entry felt all over the place and that's why I enjoyed it the least one so far.
The writing in those novellas is just so magical and every time I pick one up, I am in awe of McGuire's prose specially the way those stories are started. I think some of this magic is lost when it comes to the plot. I liked the first entries more because they felt like standalones in the same world but with the last entries, they seemed more like a continuation of a series that I started in 2018 and I don't remember some of the important details to the story.
Mislaid in Parts Half-Known tackles more than one character with more than one theme and it made it a bit chaotic and hard to follow. I think I liked this series more when it introduced a new character and showed their stories and then how they come to join the school. I could read endless of those stories which actually made me stick to the series so far. Things seem to be getting different though and I am starting to question whether I am going to continue this series or not. I think I will give the next book a chance and see how things go.
Speaking of continuing it: Does anyone know how many books are planned in the series?

I hope you enjoy the next one more, Hamad! I don’t think it has been announced how many novellas there will be, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there are several more left since the author introduced new characters and worlds just two installments ago.

Most of the ratings are around 4 stars which is pretty good but the latest installments were less interesting to be honest,.

I guess there is always potential for more with the structure of these books!
