Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. 4.5/5* ( ) This story is weird and delightful and wistful and I loved reading it. I've been seeing people rave about the Wayward Children series for a long time and I definitely understand why; it has familiar ideas and settings (like the hidden Narnia-ish lands and a boarding school) but McGuire twists them in her own unique way and makes this world really standout. I personally adored the blend of magical realism and murder mystery here- I don't think I've read anything quite like it before! Part of me wishes the book has another couple hundred pages, but knowing there are plenty more books (plus 3 more unreleased ones) has me excited to keep reading. This book sings to my heart. I don't know any other way to describe it. It made me cry, which Seanan is prone to doing, but ultimately what I felt was uplifted, transported by this slender little volume to a place where hope, despite being a four-letter-word, remains powerful. The characters and their stories are unique and beautiful. Although I've only read this book once so far, I suspect very strongly that it will become my most reread of Seanan's works. DNF. Not because of the book, but because I was listening to the audio. I keep trying to do audio books, so I can listen to them on the treadmill, etc. but I. HATE. AUDIO. BOOKS. Seriously... I’ve TRIED to like audio books (and e-books). I just can’t... I’ll probably try reading this with a physical copy of the book, because the premise is intriguing. I found this novella both intriguing and surprising. I was not expecting a murder mystery! I liked that there was no fluff. The story was told without any tangents, and it looks like the next book will be a prequel about Jack & Jill, so there was no need for more information than was necessary for the plot to move along. My library seems to have all of this series on the shelf so I may very well just power through them all. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a bit of a darker fantasy story. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children. No Solicitations. No Visitors. No Quests. Children have always disappeared under the right conditions; slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere...else. But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children. Nancy tumbled once, but now she's back. The things she's experienced...they change a person. The children under Miss West's care understand all too well. And each of them is seeking a way back to their own fantasy world. But Nancy's arrival marks a change at the Home. There's a darkness just around each corner, and when tragedy strikes, it's up to Nancy and her new-found schoolmates to get to the heart of things. No matter the cost.
