Rendition In Favor Of Books Down Among the Sticks and Bones (Wayward Children #2)
Twin sisters Jack and Jill were seventeen when they found their way home and were packed off to Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children.This is the story of what happened first…
Jacqueline was her mother’s perfect daughter—polite and quiet, always dressed as a princess. If her mother was sometimes a little strict, it’s because crafting the perfect daughter takes discipline.
Jillian was her father’s perfect daughter—adventurous, thrill-seeking, and a bit of a tom-boy. He really would have preferred a son, but you work with what you've got.
They were five when they learned that grown-ups can’t be trusted.
They were twelve when they walked down the impossible staircase and discovered that the pretense of love can never be enough to prepare you a life filled with magic in a land filled with mad scientists and death and choices.

4.5 Stars! This was definitely a satisfying sequel. I think I may have enjoyed book one slightly more, but nonetheless, I adore this series and would highly recommend books one and two! I believe it is written in third person-omniscient, which I find is not the most common form of narration in YA. Its always a bit tricky to get fully immersed at first, being the prose is also quite elaborate and flowery, but Ive consistently grown addicted to her writing style with both books.I do feel Down
I loved Jack and Jill in Every Heart a Doorway , and I was so looking forward to their story! But now Im sad its over!Serena and Chester are obsessed with order and appearances. They have to be a perfect couple with a perfect house in a perfect neighborhood, perfect at work and at various roles in society. But one thing is missing. They cant be an image of perfection unless they are the a perfect, nuclear family. And so they decide to have a kid...Bad idea. They are terrible, terrible parents.
I absolutely love the worlds that Seanan McGuire creates and the overall concepts of her novels, but both this and Every Heart a Doorway fell just a little bit flat for me. This isn't because of her writing style, which is beautiful, but simply because the books are too dang short for me!I will say that I enjoyed this more than Every Heart a Doorway as the plot was more focused. I actually was really loving it and invested in the story! BUT IT WAS TOO SHORT. This led to several instances of
