Every Heart a Doorway 4 stars Tagged by 16 people as 21st Century

Wow! Not what I expected from this book. I was extremely awed and mesmerized by Seanan McGuire's writing and world building.

The story is dark: There are doorways to "other worlds" and it seems that each doorway is meant for a certain person, and those people are few and far between. Once you find your door, you might not come back or you could come back not wanting to....Eleanor West has a home for the Wayward children who come back against their will. Here she hopes to make their lives a little bit better. There is something sinister going on though at Miss West's home.

The book has some humor, it explores gender and acceptance. I fell in love with a couple of the characters. All in all a very satisfying read.

This one was a pleasant surprise for me too. I have read the second one and plan to continue the series.

I had no idea it was a series! Yea!!

I just added the second one-they all look so good, can't wait to have a challenge to pick it up!

Book discoveries are the best!

Just started this one. So this all is very encouraging. Better go get reading!

One of my favorite series! These books are auto-buy releases for me. She wraps up so many lovely, insightful observations about people in such lovely prose.

When I posted this was my TRIM book, you did say I was in for a good ride! You were right. I have been in a bit of reading slump lately and this really helped restore my energy.

Cannot wait to hear your thoughts Kristel!

Yay! I'm so glad to hear that! Novellas are really great for busting reading slumps.

I have had this one since it came out and still haven't read it. Your review may be the nudge I need.
