Our view
“Come Tumbling Down” returns the “Wayward Children” series to Jack and Jill, the twins it began with, on a rescue mission into the Moors. Readers attached to the pair value seeing their story brought towards an end. Some feel a quest this busy needs more room than the short form allows, find the ending hurried, and think Cora is drawn more flatly than the others. This fifth volume depends on the first two.
