Another great book by Seanan McGuire. her writing is simply amazing weaving a profound story of being who you are and being the person people expect you to be. This book is a semi-prequel to Every Heart a Doorway

The Story of Jack and Jill and how they became who they are and where they came from.

CAWPILECharacters.Jaqueline and Jillian were excellent characters and the way we see them grow and change both in the Horrible parents care and in the moors was excellentAtmosphereBeautifully written. I could feel the atmosphere of the their house and the feeling of the moors was undeniableWritingBeautiful writing for this series. it sometimes feels like it has a bit of a rhyme to it, which just makes it sound all the betterPlotWell paced and straightforward. we had a clear ending point and the beginning didn't detract or confuse. Intriguewas interesting to see what life on the moors was like and how it changed Jaqueline and Jillian, was interesting to see a bit of ability control on the doors. very sad to see their childhood, but i can perfectly imagine things happening like that.LogicWhile the Logic of the parents is tenuous at best, I have absolutly no doubt that there are people who do the exact same or similar things. The Logic of each choice was well documented and totally believableEnjoymentI very much enjoyed this prequel. it really helps to flesh out the backstory of the characters, but i'm excited to see the future of the Wayward Home
