La narración casi como si fuera un cuento explicado al borde de la chimenea me ha absorbido las pocas horas que he tenido para leerme el libro. Ojala traduzcan más libros de la autora, mientras creo que voy a buscar las secuelas en su edición original porque quiero ver más de este universo que esta componiendo Seanan. (  ) Cabask | Mar 27, 2024 | Other than that, I still enjoyed this: Jack and Jill are incredibly interesting characters and I liked spending time in their heads and world. And again, the atmosphere of this book is very immersive, like a dark fairytale version of Frankenstein/Dracula (it would make an excellent Halloween read!) I'm definitely going to be continuing the series still, and hope we get to see more of these two. (  ) deborahee | Feb 23, 2024 | And that is all I will say for fear of spoilers.

HTML: New York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuire returns to her popular Wayward Children series with Down Among the Sticks and Bonesâ??a truly standalone story suitable for adult and young adult readers of urban fantasy, and the follow-up to the Alex, Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award-winning, World Fantasy Award finalist, Tiptree Honor List book Every Heart a Doorway Twin sisters Jack and Jill were seventeen when they found their way home and were packed off to Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children. This is the story of what happened first... Jacqueline was her mother's perfect daughterâ??polite and quiet, always dressed as a princess. If her mother was sometimes a little strict, it's because crafting the perfect daughter takes discipline. Jillian was her father's perfect daughterâ??adventurous, thrill-seeking, and a bit of a tom-boy. He really would have preferred a son, but you work with what you've got. They were five when they learned that grown-ups can't be trusted. They were twelve when they walked down the impossible staircase and discovered that the pretense of love can never be enough to prepare you a life filled with magic in a land filled with mad scientists and death and choices.

And though I appreciated this one more than the first in the series, I'm also not sure if I'll be continuing with the others. It seems like the author has very interesting ideas but either doesn't take time or doesn't quite know how to flesh them out into something bigger than just an idea. The concept of the Moors and its neighboring societies is so fascinating, and a pair of twin sisters raised by a vampire lord and a mad scientist respectively is phenomenal. But we get so little of it and nothing of real substance before we receive our pat on the back, are handed a moral lesson, and are sent back through the door. Much like Jack and Jill, we're left wondering why we can't stay! (
