parasolcrafter 's review for:

Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire
2.0
adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

this book was so fast but so slow. so beautifully written but so devoid of substance. so deep but so shallow. so straightforward but so confusing. so unique but so bland. truly...a kind of masterpiece.

literally there are maybe 2 likeable characters (
sumi dies too soon to really be a main character
, nancy doesnt really seem to do much except get dragged around by the plot,
jill is a fucking MURDERER
, and jack is just...so straight cut) and even then cristopher seems like an add-on, if that makes sense? the ending was also so weirdly executed and i just...dont like how the deaths in the book were almost glossed over?? like i didnt feel any real emotion from the characters except eleanor :/
