Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuireMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Let me start off by saying when i picked this book up I went into it knowing only one thing, and that was that this is a book about the after math of going to an alternate universe. Let me just say that it was that and so much more. For this book to be as short as it was it literally blew me away. From the Writing to the plot and the character development. It was refreshing, new, and left me wanting more!
Quotes from the book::
“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.”
― Seanan McGuire, Every Heart a Doorway
“Because ‘boys will be boys’ is a self-fulfilling prophecy,” said Lundy. “They’re too loud, on the whole, to be easily misplaced or overlooked; when they disappear from the home, parents send search parties to dredge them out of swamps and drag them away from frog ponds. It’s not innate. It’s learned. But it protects them from the doors, keeps them safe at home. Call it irony, if you like, but we spend so much time waiting for our boys to stray that they never have the opportunity. We notice the silence of men. We depend upon the silence of women.”
― Seanan McGuire, Every Heart a Doorway
