Story
When Gregor falls through a grate in the laundry room of his apartment building, he hurtles into the dark Underland, where spiders, rats, and cockroaches coexist uneasily with humans. This world is on the brink of war, and Gregor's arrival is no accident. A prophecy foretells that Gregor has a role to play in the Underland's uncertain future. Gregor wants no part of it, until he realizes it's the only way to solve the mystery of his father's disappearance.

Ever since I found the world of the Underland, I have been fascinated by it. This book series I have read/listened to at least six times over. I'm hoping to finish the whole series again over this Thanksgiving break and then Christmas break. It is an absolute masterpiece. Fly you high reader, fly you high. 💞

Story
Delaney Meyers-Petrov is tired of being seen as fragile just because she's Deaf. So when she's accepted into a prestigious program at Godbole University that trains students to slip between parallel worlds, she's excited for the chance to prove herself. But her semester gets off to a rocky start as she faces professors who won't accommodate her disability, and a pretentious upperclassman fascinated by Delaney's unusual talents.

The suspense was fantastic and I constantly wanted to know more about what was going on as the story unraveled before my eyes. I don't typically read horror, but it was written so beautifully that I didn't mind the haunting imagery that played in my mind and the timing and buildup was always perfect. Every part of this book was really well done! :)
As a Deaf Ed teacher, I was also happy to read a book with a deaf protagonist. I think it showcased the spectrum of deafness well.
1. Not all deaf people are fluent in sign language.
2. Advocating for yourself is difficult when you're not sure what services would best meet your needs.
3. Deaf people often feel lost or left out in conversations where there is a lot of other background noise happening.
I was also super happy that her parents signed. Around 85% of hearing parents who have a deaf child do not learn to sign. So, I was grateful when both of her parents signed with her. It was also sweet that Colton had been going out of his way behind the scenes to learn some signs to communicate with her.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to read a beautifully written story with plenty of eerie and tense undertones that all tie together for a larger picture in the end.
