Across the Green Grass Fields by Seanan McGuire
5.0
It's over, and I'm depressed. I hate this time of year. Every January, I read the latest Wayward Children installment, and every January, I finish and have to wait another full year for the next installment.
This book, while a wonderful addition to the series, could absolutely be a stand-alone story. The only thing someone who hasn't read any of the previous books may not understand is the sudden appearance of a door. Even that, though, isn't really a big deal. This reads as its own story, especially as there's no mention of Elanore West's Home for Wayward Children or any of the other children from the previous books.
I was extremely disappointed in the very abrupt ending. Not disappointed in that I didn't like it. I did, and it broke my heart. But I was disappointed because I just didn't want the story to end. Does Regan ever make it back to her beloved Hooflands? Does she get sent to Elanore West? How did her parents take her sudden reappearance? And what happened to that awful little bitch, Laurel? I wanted to know it all.
Anyway though, here I sit, for another year, impatiently awaiting Book #7 of the Wayward Children Series. I absolutely recommend this book and every other one in the series. This has become my all time favorite series of books EVER!
