Just finished the book and found it enjoyable. However there is one thing that I can’t quite figure out and that’s who was the one-eyed rook.
At the end it sounds like the rook is reunited with the skull of a little boy before the Pale Lady takes its life. Was the rook symbolic of a famous fairy tale or a character from the 1st book? It’s been a while since I read the “The Book of Lost Things” so I can’t recall anything about a room or 1-eyed person.

It’s been forever since I read the prequel and had been wondering the same.
I just chose to read it as a “everyone is their own main character” kind of thing. Like, while this story focused on a chosen few, nobody they encounter doesn’t have their own story and such, and we only got enough of a glimpse of theirs to make the rook’s choices understandable.
