4.25/5
I enjoyed this a lot more the second time around. It probably has a lot to do with the difference in expectations between the two times I read this.
This time I was aware that this would be very much character driven and I really enjoyed it.

I enjoyed this book which i listened to on audio. The narrator was excellent and the narrative really easy to follow. I felt the storyline was reasonably novel involving children who are put into boarding school because of their insistence of having travelled into other dimensions. A spate of murders has everyone at the boarding school suspecting the latest admission - Nancy - but are they correct?. I would read more of this series.
I absolutely LOVED this book. A boarding school for kids who have been booted out of their portal fantasy worlds? Yes please. One where the main character is aro, another is trans, and the rest are all girls? Even more yes. Also the prose was A PLUS.
1/2
Not entirely what I was expecting, but it's an intriguing read all the same. I wouldn't say it was enjoyable, but I definitely wanted to know more and flew through the ending to find out what happened. I'll continue the series in the future.

I loved this story and everybody's individual tales of their doors/homes. This gave me some Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children vibes but for older teenagers. Can't wait to continue on.
