Calculated Risks- Seanan McGuire Does It Again (I love everything she writes and seriously doubt I will ever write a negative review about one of her books. #biased)

Calculated Risks by Seanan McGuire

by Leave a Comment

I’ve got another Seanan McGuire for y’all. This one is the latest installment of her Incryptid series. The basic premise of the Incryptid books is- what if all the urban legends and myths about creatures and magic were real? What if there was an entire cryptid community living under the noses of humanity? And what if there was an order devoted to wiping those creatures out- sentient or no, peaceful or no? And what if a family broke away from that order and devoted themselves […]

The Unkindest Tide by Seanan McGuire

by Leave a Comment

It’s pretty much impossible for me not to enjoy a Toby Daye book – they’ve become my comfort blanket whenever I need to disappear from the real world for a little while and I’ve not yet been disappointed. The Unkindest Tide – the 13th outing for Toby –  is no different. Hundreds of years ago the Roane, children of the Luidaeg, were slaughtered by the Selkies who took their skins for their own. While the Selkies have long known that the Luidaeg will one day […]

Across the Green Grass Fields by Seanan McGuire

I think that Across the Green Grass Fields, the sixth Wayward Children novella, might be the first fully stand-alone story set in the same world as the previous six. This had so much potential and the world that Regan wanders into is fascinating. Problem is that there is so little plot, not much world or character development, and the whole thing feels kind of rushed. The basic premise is still there; not long after a major personal trauma the protagonist finds a door to a […]

Eleanor West runs a home for wayward children, mostly girls but a few boys too who have tumbled back through doors from worlds that felt like home to find themselves unwillingly returned to this one. Each feels a terrible grief that they had, just for a time, belonged somewhere only […]

Across the Green Grass Fields- Yeesssss Seanan YEEESSSSSSS

Across the Green Grass Fields by Seanan McGuire

by 2 Comments

Goddammit Seanan McGuire you’ve done it again. There’s a reason she’s one of my all time favorite authors and it’s because she never fails to disappoint. Seanan has a few different series, all of which I love. Across the Green Grass Fields belongs to her Doorway novellas. Essentially, Seanan created a meta fiction for all of those stories of kids stumbling into other worlds and having adventures. In her universe, children find their doors. These doors, if entered, sweep the child away to one of […]
