A review by astareads
Down Among the Sticks and Bones by Seanan McGuire

Did not finish book. Stopped at 96%.
I rarely DNF something when I'm already so close to finishing, but I just didn't care what happened to Jack and Jill or whatever their names were. McGuire's writing writhers my soul by chewing the simplest of ideas and spitting it out for the reader to digest, and when a book is less than 300 pages long it really doesn't leave much space for actual content. I hated the characters, cared for them even less than I cared for anyone in the Every Heart a Doorway, and rolled my eyes numerous times at the supposed rebellion against gender norms. How the hell this series has won awards, I will never understand.
