December 2023 GN's/Novellas/Manga/Poetry/Nonfiction BOTM - Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire

[Alaina]

Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children
No Solicitations
No Visitors
No Quests

Children have always disappeared under the right conditions; slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere... else.

But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children.

Nancy tumbled once, but now she’s back. The things she’s experienced... they change a person. The children under Miss West’s care understand all too well. And each of them is seeking a way back to their own fantasy world.

But Nancy’s arrival marks a change at the Home. There’s a darkness just around each corner, and when tragedy strikes, it’s up to Nancy and her new-found schoolmates to get to the heart of the matter.

No matter the cost.

[Erica]

finished (view spoiler)[ I am sad that it was one of the jack and jill duo's, but I am glad that it wasnt Kade. Nancy gets to go back home and I wonder what that will be like. I was hoping for a little more magical and instead there really wasnt much (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

Chapters 1-2 (view spoiler)[So far this is an interesting start with Nancy showing up at this place because they went through this door. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

Chapters 3-5 (view spoiler)[ This is interesting, but not sure how I feel. I like the fantasy worlds and think those are interesting, but the conversations are a little strange. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[This is starting to get creepy, but glad Nacy figured out they are taking the thing they value most. Wonder who it is though. (hide spoiler)]

[Ashlyn]

Finished (view spoiler)[Well I wasn't expecting it to be Jack's sister, Jill. The ending was good, although I still didn't really love the book. I feel like this kind of left it open for another book. (hide spoiler)]

[Jessica]

Chapter Three
(view spoiler)[ This is an interesting premise but I don't know how I feel about it yet. (hide spoiler)]

[Jessica]

Chapter Five
(view spoiler)[ Two murders, oh my. What is happening here? This is also making me wonder if all the children's doors are back at their parents place. (hide spoiler)]

[Jessica]

Chapter Nine
(view spoiler)[ lmao Jack be Christopher are a hilarious paid. Could the murder be Jill? And she really was pointing to the murderer (hide spoiler)]

[Jessica]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ Well this was interesting. I was right about Jill and I'm glad Nancy got to go back after all. (hide spoiler)]
