Reviews"This is a lovely installment of the series, with pitch-perfect fairy-tale logic...The series as a whole has wonderfully internally consistent world building--and characters, no matter how far in the background, with complexity and depth." -- Booklist Praise for Every Heart a Doorway "With Every Heart a Doorway , McGuire has created her own mini-masterpiece of portal fantasy -- a jewel of a book that deserves to be shelved with Lewis Carroll's and C. S. Lewis' classics, even as it carves its own precocious space between them." -- NPR "Seanan McGuire has long been one of the smartest writers around, and with this novella we can easily see that her heart is as big as her brain." --Charlaine Harris "One of the most extraordinary stories I've ever read." --V. E. Schwab "This is a gorgeous story: sometimes mean, sometimes angry, and always exciting." --Cory Doctorow for BoingBoing "So mindblowingly good, it hurts." -- io9 "McGuire's lyrical prose makes this novella a rich experience." -- Library Journal starred review "This gothic charmer is a love letter to anyone who's ever felt out of place." -- Publishers Weekly "Seanan McGuire once again demonstrates her intimate knowledge of the human heart in a powerful fable of loss, yearning and damaged children." -- Paul Cornell, author of London Falling and Witches of Lychford "The broken doors are open, and you should come and enter.
