Relation 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.Rating Of Books Down Among the Sticks and Bones (Wayward Children #2)

Some adventures require nothing more than a willing heart and the ability to trip over the cracks in the world. I love McGuire's dark little fairy tales so so much.I was captivated by Every Heart a Doorway last year, and couldn't wait to get into more of the author's weirdness with Down Among the Sticks and Bones. It doesn't disappoint. This second in the series is a completely new story, so it can be easily read as a standalone. But also has all the unsettling atmosphere of its predecessor.In3,5* - I really wish these books were longer. I love the writing style, the world, the characters. But there's just not enough of all of it.
Hello, darkness, my old friend. THAT ENDING!!! Wow, my goodness I am glad I gave this one a second chance. I started this last summer, put it down to participate in a Readathon and just kept neglecting to pick it back up.Now that I have completed it, I have such a strong urge to go back and read the 1st book again. This story helps to explain so much.Jack and Jill.Born Jacqueline and Jillian.Jacqueline the perfect princess, prim and proper, just as her mother wants.Jillian, a tomboy, a diamond
I loved this so much! If the series continues to explore the depths of different characters, then I'm already expecting to love every installment. It was so great getting to know Jack & Jill's characters, despite the frustrating childhood they had to endure. Someone get these children new parents ASAP! It was also nice to get to see the world their door lead them to & how it altered them in different ways. Can't wait to pick up the next book!
#1 Every Heart a Doorway ★★★★★#2 Down Among the Sticks and Bones ★★★★★#3 Beneath the Sugar Sky ★★★★★#4 In An Absent Dream ★★★★★#5 Come Tumbling Down ★★★★★I genuinely did not think that anything could top Every Heart a Doorway for me, and then this book came in and blew my expectations out of the water. Seanans writing is always masterful and poetic, but the underlying messages she wove into this novella made it even more meaningful to me. This, you see, is the true danger of children: they are
Rating: 4.75 starsReally enjoyed learning more about some of the fascinating characters we met in book #1, and exploring a new world!So dark and heartbreaking.
Read for Popsugar's 2018 Reading Challenge #30: A Book With Characters Who Are TwinsA great book to kick off the new year! I really enjoyed this one, even if a bit less than Every Heart A Doorway. I definitely hope to get to the next book sometime this year!
