“I never wanted to be a hero, but that doesn’t mean I’ll let you turn me into a villain”

Where the Drowned Girls Go by Seanan McGuire

March 16, 2023 by Carriejay Leave a Comment

Cora has returned from the Moors but feels the Drowned Gods whispering to her. They want her back. Feeling too close to open doors at Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children, she asks to be transferred to its sister school. There, students are not searching for their doors or a return to other worlds. They are being taught to fit into this one, to leave all that behind. Seeing how determined Cora is, Eleanor reluctantly lets her go. But Eleanor knows how awful the Whitethorn […]

A cute but maybe unnecessary standalone

Across the Green Grass Fields by Seanan McGuire

March 9, 2023 by Carriejay Leave a Comment

Regan is having a hard time with her friend group. After one of her friends inadvertently makes ‘queen bee’ Laurel mad, Regan chooses the security being close to said popular girl brings, and the other girl is shunned. But when Regan learns something upsetting and confusing about herself, she makes the mistake of confiding in Laurel, who takes it badly and mocks her. Regan runs away from school, but while heading home, she stumbles upon a doorway in the trees that says ‘be sure’. She […]

A Door Opens above the Strawberry Soda Sea

“Frosting isn’t a good medium for lengthy dissertations on fate.”- Wayward Children Book 3

“Nobody promised me a happy ending. They didn’t even promise me a happy existence.” This volume takes place chronologically shortly after Book One.

The problem is that her mother died in […]

A desolate gray landscape with a single bare tree in the background. The Foreground is a chest that is partially open and a glow comes from the inside.

Gender Roles Are Bullshit

Down Among The Sticks And Bones by Seanan McGuire

February 1, 2023 by RevGirlUtena Leave a Comment

Down Among the Sticks and Bones is the Second Book in Seanan McGuire’s Wayward Children Series and I loved it even more than the first. This novella gives us the backstory of Jack and Jill (formally named Jacqueline and Jillian), twin sisters who were raised to have very specific gender roles, whether they actually wanted them or not. Their parents, who always did everything perfectly, expected one girl and one boy. When they didn’t get their expected male child, they decided to make Jillian into […]

A Doorway In a Forest

Every Heart A Doorway by Seanan McGuire: Wayward Children #1

Every Heart A Doorway by Seanan McGuire

January 30, 2023 by RevGirlUtena 2 Comments

“You know, I read Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland when I was a kid, and I never thought about what it would be like for Alice when she went back to where she’d started. I figured she’d just shrug and get over it. But I can’t do that. Every time I close my eyes, I’m back in my real bed, in my real room, and all of this is the dream.” There are many stories where children enter some kind of fantastical portal, have all sorts […]

My love for Seanan McGuire continues

Late Eclipses by Seanan McGuire

Discount Armageddon by Seanan McGuire

December 29, 2022 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I’m slowly working my way through Seanan McGuire’s body of work. Her books are exactly the kind of urban fantasy I love. She has a way of writing witty heroines who put their lives on the line for others. I decided to put the InCryptid series into the rotation. I bought the first book on audiobook on sale ages ago. I also have been desperate to read novels I already own. It was a win-win. Discount Armageddon introduces us to Verity Price. She comes from a long […]
