I liked Jack and Jill more than Nancy, but the plot of this book wasn’t quite as good as the first one. I still really enjoyed it for its take on vampires and portal fantasy, and I’m excited to continue with the series!

This second volume in the Wayward Children series is quite different from the first one, which had been the definition of a whimsical, unexpected book. This one is much more consistent, and has the feel of a fairy tale. You can almost hear a voice-over as in the series Pushing Daisies or the movie Penelope, and although it can feel tedious, here I thought it was done really well and effectively. Down Among the Sticks and Bones works as a prequel for Every Heart a Doorway. We follow two important but secondary characters from the first volume and learn more about them. I loved how the book encouraged defying expectations and making one's own path in life. Despite the voice-over feel, it still felt quite personal and engaging.
Rep: lesbian couple with a fat character.

Less complex than the first book, but for me a slightly more enjoyable read. It all evens out to a 3.5 for both books.
