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.… (mer)

The book was short, making for a quick read, and I'm very thankful for that. The writing was very surreal and intuitive, making it quite pretty in places.

Unfortunately, that was all that was good with this one. There are underlying themes of relativism, the tone is rather dark, the profanity and sexual references were unnecessary, and I figured out the ending very early on.

This actually reminded me a lot of [b:The Magicians|6101718|The Magicians (The Magicians #1)|Lev Grossman|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1313772941s/6101718.jpg|6278977], another book I gave only 1 star. ( )

I did not enjoy this book at all. ( )

3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 because of McGuire's beautiful writing.

Sometimes you simply just need a book that short and effective. However, most of the time these books do not pair with the phrase "well written". Well, let me tell you, Every Heart a Doorway is an exception to that! I really loved this story and fell in love with the characters and their worlds. McGuire writes in a way that is subtle yet nuanced and allows readers to absorb every ounce of information put forward. ( )

What happens to children after they return from their trip through a portal into a magical land? Can life ever return to normal? Do they want it to? Nancy has been sent to a special boarding school by her parents who believe that she is delusional. But the school is not quite what it seems, and when a body turns up, everyone's life may be in peril. Clever and magical, this novella speaks to the longings within us all. ( )

Another one recommended by a friend. (She is good at recommending books!)

Oh, my heart. I love this book. I love this series. Some of us feel like we never found our door, and some feel they have a chance to find it again. ( )

You're nobody's rainbow.

You're nobody's princess.

You're nobody's doorway but your own, and the only one who gets to tell you how your story ends is you.
"Hope hurts. That's what you need to learn, and fast, if you don't want it to cut you open from the inside out. Hope is bad. Hope means you keep on holding to things that won't ever be so again, and so you bleed an inch at a time until there's nothing left."
We notice the silence of men. We depend upon the silence of women.
"You had milk, I had science," said Jack. "It's amazing how much of culinary achievement can be summarized by that sentence. Cheese making, for example. The perfect intersection of milk, science, and foolish disregard for the laws of nature."
"I am a genius of infinite potential and highly limited patience. People shouldn't try me so."
