"The Little Grey Girl" is the second book in the Wild Magic trilogy by Celine Kiernan. In this captivating story, we follow the brave young Mup and her family as they attempt to heal and restore the kingdom. As they settle into the cold, newly empty castle, the past of the old queen and her fled witches becomes palpable. Mup and her family must confront not only the fear and distrust of the former subjects but also the painful memories that reside within the castle walls. When an enchanted snow cuts the castle off from the outside world, the memories of the old queen's victims manifest as a spirit. Celine Kiernan conveys an important message in this book: to dismantle oppression, it is essential to honor the pains of the past and to foster joy and hope wherever possible.
