Fantastic Adventure!
This was the beginning of a great adventure. I did not know what I was getting into when I chose to listen to Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire, and I have no regrets. I have seen this series around and I have seen many recommendations to read it. When I found it on audio, I had no more excuses. I jumped into reading it without any idea what it was about! The writing in this book is amazing. The author takes you on a journey from beginning to end. You learn a little bit more and more along the way and the adventure never ends. Each turning of the page leaves you with more questions than answers. More excitement for what is to come and what has already happened. I devoured this book and I am beyond excited to see what the next one is about. This book follows a young girl named Nancy, who has found herself enrolled atEleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children. Which has a friendly sign reading: No Solicitations No Visitors No Quests Nancy finds herself surrounded by other children like her; those who have traveled through magical doors to other lands. However, as Nancy comes to find out, not every world is the same and not every child comes back to their birth world unmarked from their magical home. We follow Nancy as she tries to navigate this new school and learning about adapting to where she is now after her adventure is over. However, not everything is as it seems. Such good writing and plot intrigue in this book. I will absolutely will be continuing the series.

unique
Totally new, totally different. Everything was unique and kept my attention. Even when nothing much happened, I was listening carefully.

Fantastic!
I've read this book several times and have yet to review it? Let's just say this is one of my favorite books! I love the diversity and I love the characters. Nancy might be my favorite character in this whole series. I love that I want more from this story but at the same time, it's complete. I don't need anything more for completion. I need more because it's just so freaking good!

Fairytale gold
I wonderful little fairytale that I adored. The misfit Wayward children all have one thing in common, they want to belong. And I think amongst each other, they will finally have that place. For as short as this was, there was ALOT to sink your teeth into and I was blown away. This one I will be rereading for years to come and I can’t wait to see what the rest of the Wayward children have in store.

Exceptional in every way
No matter how many times I read this story, I always discover something new. This time it was all the foreshadowing. Every Heart a Doorway is brilliant, beautiful, and my favorite of the series (I think). The characters are some of my favorite in any fantasy (YA or otherwise). They're written so exceptionally well. Each character feels important to the story, and when there's under 200 pages, that's an impressive feat!

A new favorite series
Peter Pan + School for Good and Evil + And Then There Were None + Seanan McGuire Have you ever wondered what happened after “The End?” If YOU were Alice, would you really want to leave Wonderland? This is a story of those that were sent back to their worlds, kicking and screaming. They want nothing more than to find their door (rabbit hole/window/cyclone/etc). Eleanor, headmistress of Wayward School wants nothing more than to take them into her care, away from parents who will never understand) and help them find their doors. But when new student Nancy arrives, tragedy strikes..and again..and again.. I ABSOLUTELY adored this book! I gave 5-stars to Over the Woodward Walls and EHaH blew it out the waters! I don’t know how Seanan does it! She is able to tell THE best stories in less than 200 pages! And her language and world-building is second to none! This book was gorgeous, creepy, mysterious, funny, scary, and inclusive!! This is my favorite read of the month and have already ordered #2 for January! One note: I have seen some reviews saying this is MG. I would just be careful about letting younger ones read, as there are f-bombs and talk about adult toys. I would say this is more a fairy tale for teens or adults. Buy this for yourself or someone who has always wondered what happens after “The End.” Or, if you’re twisted, get it for someone who believes fairy tales only apply to children.

Stunning novella
Such a beautiful read! As a novella, you can get through it in 2-3 hours, but it packs the punch and has the world and character depth of a full-length novel. It tackles belonging, family of choice vs blood, gender issues, and the danger of longing for something you may not be able to get back. It is truly a stunning read.
