Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuireMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the first book in the Wayward Children series. Seanan McGuire has set herself up with a lifetime of books to write with this because each character has a very unique story to tell. You see, almost every single character in the book has been to a different world that was unique to them. I say almost because it seems that family members might be able to visit the same world. The descriptions of the worlds are quite cool and makes you wish you could find a doorway too. Candylands, underworlds, spider kingdoms, goblins, rainbow running and unicorns. This is true fantasy.
The other great thing about Seanan McGuire's writing is that she incorporates such diverse characters effortlessly and reminds you of the angstiness of teenage years. The main character is asexual and struggles with the attention she gets from the hottest boy in school who also just happens to have gender dysphoria. That's just character development because the real story is someone is killing the wayward children and nobody is safe.
