Come Tumbling Down by Seanan McGuireMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A return to the world of The Moors, where mad scientists and vampires have come to a hostile, fragile balance. Sisters Jack & Jill have been a large part of that balance, until Jill and her vampire “father" take things a little too far. Jack returns to Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children to enlist some help. Suddenly, one of Miss West’s cardinal rules (No quests) is broken with abandon, as several of our acquaintances from past volumes join Jack in her ambition to prevent war on The Moors.
Of all the portals that McGuire has described thus far, The Moors has always been my favourite and I have also enjoyed the off kilter relationship between these two sisters. Jack realizes that she didn't understand her sister's needs when they were children, but now must be adult enough to fix the current problem. Few of us have to make decisions of this magnitude, but it can be a reminder to be more understanding with the people in your own life. Our perception of others is necessarily skewed by our own lenses that we see life through, making our view of others always incomplete.
Still looking forward to more promised adventures of the Wayward Children!
