Come Tumbling Down (Wayward Children #5)
by Seanan McGuire
What is it about:
The fifth installment in Seanan McGuire's award-winning, bestselling Wayward Children series, Come Tumbling Down picks up the threads left dangling by Every Heart a Doorway and Down Among the Sticks and Bones
When Jack left Eleanor West's School for Wayward Children she was carrying the body of her deliciously deranged sister--whom she had recently murdered in a fit of righteous justice--back to their home on the Moors.
But death in their adopted world isn't always as permanent as it is here, and when Jack is herself carried back into the school, it becomes clear that something has happened to her. Something terrible. Something of which only the maddest of scientists could conceive. Something only her friends are equipped to help her overcome.
Eleanor West's "No Quests" rule is about to be broken.
Again.
What did I think of it:
I read the other books of this series last year when Beneath The Sugar Sky was nominated for the Hugo's and immediately fell in love with them. So you bet I was excited when I won an ARC of Come Tumbling Down in a giveaway so I could read it early.
And this is yet again a wonderful read.
This book continues the story of Jack and Jill and takes the students to the Gothic world first introduced in Down Among the Sticks and Bones. Jill isn't as dead as she seemed to be at the end of Every Heart a Doorway and Jack needs help stopping her or the world she has come to love and everyone in it might suffer the consequences.
There are some difficult choices to be made, and possibly some sacrifices as well. I couldn't stop reading, I had to know how things would end. Would my favorite characters make it through their ordeals unscathed?
All in all this is a really cool story full of suspense and emotion. You bet I'll be eagerly awaiting the next book, because I need more!
Why should you read it:
It's a heartbreakingly cool read.
