Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire
3.0
3.5/5
Would've loved and worshipped this book forever if it had continued the tone and vibe of Part 1 into Part 2 since I found I enjoyed that sense of un-belonging and the deep sadness it brought more than the murder mystery, which I think, made it seem a bit gimmicky.
However, the prose is excellent. Almost every sentence made me feel like I was going to cry, which was unsettling, to say the least, because I genuinely thought I was losing it. The book also caused me to become deeply attached to all the characters we were introduced to, even when I barely knew anything about them, which says a lot about the author's skills.
Very excited to continue reading the rest.
