Did I like it or didn't I ? I don't know ! It read like a Lemony Snicket book. It's hard for me to feel anything when I don't like any of the characters, none of them. The story was cool, different and had so much to explore but the cast. There were just so unlikable to me I don't really care what h...
This series has been a blast to read. This is the story of the twins from the first book and could be read before or after the first. They do stand alone but this explains some of what happens in Every Heart a Doorway. Twins are brought up with rigid stereotypes and then they find a doorway to a...
This was almost disappointingly more of the same, but I still enjoyed it. 'Down Among the Sticks and Bones' follows twins Jack and Jill and how they came to the Home for Wayward Children, and why they left it in the manner that they did. By necessity this was more tinged with horror and gives a few ...
The trouble with denying children the freedom to be themselves - with forcing them into an idea of what they should be, not allowing them to choose their own paths - is that all too often, the one drawing the design knows nothing of the desires of their model. Children are not formless clay, to be s...
I was actually into this, but that ending. This author is amazing at endings in her other series, and this one was so open ended I had no real idea what she was trying to tell me; by springing that on me, it felt like everything she had been building up fell apart. I'm going to continue reading...
Let's face it, I would not have read this if it wasn't on the Hugo ballot. I did not love the first novella in this setting, so why would I pick up another? Turns out this is totally my jam. From the special hell of parental expectations in no way matching one's identity to the gory, rushed ending...
Read/Listened to this in one sitting and absolutely loved it. I loved seeing Jack and Jill's journey to the Moors. I'm hoping at some point we will get their perspective again, but this time what happened after they returned to the Moors. :)
"SOME ADVENTURES BEGIN EASILY. It is not hard, after all, to be sucked up by a tornado or pushed through a particularly porous mirror; there is no skill involved in being swept away by a great wave or pulled down a rabbit hole. Some adventures require nothing more than a willing heart and the abilit...
This is an enjoyable stand-alone prequel (of sorts) to Every Heart a Doorway. In this book we learn more about Jack and Jill and why they ended up at Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children. The writing is beautiful, the characters are fleshed out (even the Vampire has a personality) and the worl...
