Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire
4.0

I enjoyed this book so much and I need MORE. There is transgender FTM representation and the MC is asexual. This author definitely did her research and I really appreciate that. She goes into detail with dialogue by showing transphobia toward Kade, the trans/FTM character and including " gender dysphoria is a form of torture" said by one of the other students.

The story really picks up once the mystery begins when the students start getting killed and other students are being framed. I really liked that the mystery was unpredictable because I hate predicting exactly who did it and it ruins the book for me. Luckily, that didn't happen here!

I really enjoyed all of the characters. They all had their own personalities and attributes that made them unique. This gave me a Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children vibe, but I'll say I enjoyed this much more.

However, I can't give this a full five stars because I am still left with confusion on how the world works and what the doors mean. Also, what are Wayward children exactly? Overall, I really enjoyed this novel and I highly recommend it.
