You’re nobody’s doorway but your own, and the only one who gets to tell you how your story ends is you.
What a strange and fascinating story- it has layers I think and it is a story you can read again and again and get new meanings from- a story that questions identity, belonging, the concept of what is normal, self-determination. I will be intrigued to read the other books in the series. Seanan McGuire has the most amazing imagination!

3 stars. Beautiful writing, lackluster story. I was honestly so bored reading this and I just didn't have any emotional connection to it. This is definitely overhyped in my opinion and dammit I fell right into it. I've gotta learn to stop doing that. It's not a bad read in the slightest but I just didn't care for the story. The characters were okay, I particularly liked Kade, Jack and Jill but everyone else annoyed me so much. I don't think the length of this hindered this because I was fine wit

I originally reviewed this a number of years back (either 2018 or 2020 who knows) and now after reading it again in 2024, I have to apologize to this story. It's a 5 star read. Always has been a 5 star read and I've robbed it of a star for too long now.
Coming back to this after reading a majority of the other novellas, I think I found a new appreciate for Every Heart A Doorway. McGuire really carefully mastered how to set this series up from book one which I hadn't been able to appreciate the p ...more

Just the premise of this is incredibly interesting! You read fairy tales of children going into magical worlds, but this addresses what happens to them when they come back. Some are traumatized from their experiences, others yearn to go back so much that they lose themselves. This is where Eleanor's school comes in. She takes kids that have returned from magical lands and teaches them to reintegrate into the world and gives them techniques to deal with the changes. I loved this idea and will def

To be honest, I don't know if I liked this or not. Some parts were interesting, some parts were seriously far fetched, and the other parts read like I was taking an acid trip, a bad one at that.

I was a little scared by this book, because I love October Daye's series and I am always a little bit scared when I try something new by an author that I really like (there are exceptions, that's true, like Sanderson, for example, but they are few) because... what if I didn't like this new work as all the other ones? Would I like less the author? And so on...

Wow this was a really good book! Like much more unexpectedly lovely than I had thought.
The story takes place in a boarding school for children who have returned from other worlds. Nancy is new to the school and is slowly easing into school life. When murders start to happen, the children are trying to find out who it is.
It’s a nice quick book with interesting little characters. A slight morbidity that is fun to read/hear.

See, I love the portal fantasy. I have always enjoyed Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland. My favourite book series will always be The Chronicles of Narnia. So when I found out about Seanan McGuire’s Every Heart A Doorway, I knew I had to pick it up.
The first thing I noticed was how immersive McGuire’s writing is. She manages to cram so much detail and beauty and poetry in such little space because this book is tiny. Under 200 pages long. But it still holds so much weight with me and a lot of that ...more

This book was beautiful, i will write a review but I need to think and probably think some more......I need more, why did it have to end!
I didn't feel like there was any point to this story.
