Review:Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire

Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire
My rating: 4 of 4 stars

Sometimes we either meet a book (or a novella, in this case,) that is precisely the right fit for your soul, (at the moment,) or just happens to be original enough right when you need it, that it fills your life and your mind with brightness and joy.

For me, this is one of those pieces. To muddy the waters even more, I'm an unabashed fan of the author and I'm likely to pick up all of her writings without even checking the subject matter because I simply trust the woman to steer me to any shore.

Of course, none of that *really* matters. After all, in this novella, she's taken me to many worlds of imagination, both logical and full of wild nonsense. Am I in love with the murder mystery plaguing this poor children?

Nah, though it was quite interesting.

No, what spoke to me were all the doorways, the wild and the still lands that were perfect fits for each kid, and can I wish, wish, wish that I had my own? Can I spend a lifetime within my wild cthuhlu SF fairyland populated with layers and layers of myth and gods? Please?

Alas, the concept behind this novella, the loss and expulsion of their little paradise is tailor made to evoke ultimate sympathy from me. Oh, the pathos.

I'm not even slightly being facetious.

So I'm going to pray and pray that my hero writes more and more of these books and make me dance for joy with each and every instalment. Yay!

I've not got my hands on this yet, but it's going to be devoured as soon as I do. It's nice to find another Seanan McGuire fan

Do you also read her works under the name Mira Grant?

[Brad_Horner]

I started my fan-atical status with her under her as Mira Grant. Zombie much?

[Gravy]

I love her zombies!

I started with Toby, then had to read her Mira books, and the rest is history.
I just finished Chaos Choreography, and can't wait to read this one.

Basically, if she could put out a book a week, I'd never read anything else

[Brad_Horner]

You're reminding me rather harshly that I am behind on some of her other books! lol I've got to get on the program! I've never even started her Incryptids! *gasp*

I guess I'm going to have to fit those in next month.

[Gravy]

I have to catch up with her Newsflesh series, hopefully before Rise comes out ( ) so don't feel too bad

[Brad_Horner]

UGGGH! Okay, more I'm missing! It looks like next month is going to be a major catch-up month for me.

[Gravy]

Maybe I'm the fan-atical one

[Brad_Horner]

lol

[Foxley]

Obsessed with her writing as both Seanan and Mira!! I'll have to go check this one out now! You have to check out her Parasitology series if you liked the News Flesh series, it's really well written and very creepy.

Starting it
