Every Heart a Doorway

This was macabre, lovely, and endearing. I read Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children a year or so ago, with really high hopes for a story like this one. I found it really disappointing though, where Every Heart a Doorway is well-written and concise. It also takes familiar fantasy worlds and ties them together in a truly brilliant way. I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves fairy tales (the glittery, sweet kind, as well as the dark).
