Welcome to Litsy!

Saffron is back dealing w/ high school bullies, Gwen is drawn deeper into political intrigues & world ending magic, & Yena is learning that not everything is as it seems. It will take everyone working together to save the world.

This blew away all my expectations for this sequel! Much more expansive world building, & a thoroughly satisfying resolution! Threads enough for more, & some sweet romances that don‘t overpower the rest of the story.

This was absolutely fun!
It was pretty much what I was hoping for as I do love it when villains have their moments and this book gave me so many great villainous moments.

Normally I'm not into the isekai genre in general so I probably could have done without it but everything else .... Was just so much fun- the wit, satire, despair, snark, hope, and characterizations were what I didn't know I was looking for till I started reading it.

In search of another cozy-type fantasy w/humor and light romance, I came upon this. Since it was on Kindle Unlimited, I didn't realize it was over 1,000 pages until I started. It has great reviews, rated high. I thought it was more acceptable to read 1 big book than 5 (like a lot of series are nowadays.) But it didn't get to the part I wanted! I wanted so much to see Sasha in Between and see how Lorn and her figure things out! Still enjoyable. 4⭐

These books always feel like coming home.
I've always loved books with doors and quests. And McGuire gives me a place to go each year that fills the door-shape hole in me that needs filling.
Somehow I've missed this one last year, so I have two doors to go through this year.
I love how each book continues on the previous books, but always have their own adventures in new unknowns.

3 ⭐ I'd say this book was just ok. Nothing really stood out to me but I finished it because it was a short read.

This was a solid installment in the Wayward Children series. I enjoyed the world in this story, I just felt that it rushed through the ending. I will still continue to read these lovely little novellas. 4⭐️

Feeling curious & trying to escape a bully, Saffron follows a mysterious woman through a portal, & lands in a world of magic & queens & prophecy.

I love portal fantasies! & this was a fun 1! All the most important characters are women, the fantasy world is queer normative, & such interesting magic. But for such an info dump heavy book, the world itself felt narrow, w/ a rushed romance & abrupt ending. Hopefully book 2 is better!🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

I really love this series. Even the weaker entries, however this is not one of the weak ones. It goes deeper into the lore of the doors and the children who find them!

Look at me, being a grown up and going in for my regular physical. 😅
