13y/o: Remind me of my options for ratings again?

Me: Whole numbers and quarter increments. 

13y/o: 4¼

Me: So you like this one less than the last?

13y/o: Yeah. It felt like a LOT of buildup, and then was resolved really fast. 

Me: And also, this is the third Jack and Jill book out of five. 

13y/o: Seanan has favourites. Well. One favourite. And it's Jack. I really wanted Jill's PoV! What was she doing during all of this? Why don't we know?

This was good. So good. We revisit the Moors, one of the many fantasy worlds that lie beyond Doors that connect our world to theirs. This is a further adventure of Jack and Jill Wolcott, two of the students at the Home for Wayward Children. Actions have consequences, and not all monsters look like monsters.

McGuire is in fine form here. If you have enjoyed her other work, or enjoy fairy tale like stories or gothic horror, this is for you.
