Both a great standalone and follow-up to Every Heart a Doorway! I loved learning more about Jack and Jill, and the magical world they came from. I enjoyed this darker take and the sibling-focused storyline.

disappointed by the fact that we lost another queer character in this book...we have enough dead lesbians to last a lifetime and I trusted this author to do better. enjoyable otherwise, but it lost a star for that.

"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.
