I really liked this one.    There are several bits of narration in omniscient third person where the narrator talks about it as a story and it's lovely and well written.  It reminds me of the opening of In the Shadow of Spindrift House.

Both characters were interesting, as were the Moors.  I wish it had been a little longer

and I was disappointed that it ends with Jack and Jill arriving home so we don't get to see what happens after they return at the end of Every Heart a Doorway,

but it was a lovely little story.

Moderate: Child abuse and Gore

I marked it as child abuse but it's closer to neglect, I think. The parents ignore their children while also forcing them into roles they don't want

Down Among the Sticks & Bones is an exceptionally well written story of two sisters who never learned how to be themselves, but thanks to a magic door, they learn about themselves and who they want to be. This story is about love in all it’s different forms and that no matter what happens, always be your true self.

"Every choice feeds every choice that comes after, whether we want those choices or no."

What a dark, atmospheric, gothically gruesome little story this was.. and I absolutely devoured it! It has been years since I read the first installment to this series, but that did not take away any of my enjoyment.

The intricate world that McGuire created here is incredible. I love visiting the portal world that opens up for these special kids. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the twins chosen reality and learning more of their backstory, especially after the events of book 1.

I may reread Every Heart a Doorway before continuing on with this wacky series. Nonetheless, I look forward to discovering more doorways and exploring more within this universe.

Jack and Jill 😍😍😍 I wasn't *quite* as head over heels for this one as I was for the first one, but it was still a very strong installment. This series is just so fun, and diverse, and dark, and I am living.

The relationship between Jill and The Master is unnerving; it is posed as “father / daughter” but seems deeper than that.
