Review of 'Come Tumbling Down' on 'Goodreads'

It's no In an Absent Dream, but it's a perfectly serviceable follow-up to the series, if a bit unwieldy because of the number of characters and the situations they find themselves in not being particularly well suited for a novella-sized adventure. The series might have far better scoped entries, but you could do worse for such a short read.

Hm, this was another extremely linear book that didn't really grip the imagination the way some of the others do. For starters, we're returning (yet again) to the world of The Moors, which we've already explored a fair amount in book 2. We don't really have any new characters, and there isn't really any character growth; it's a pretty linear story of "thing happens, react to the things in a straight line from A to B till the end of the book as everything falls into place". It's not bad, it's just predictable, and in the unpredictable worlds of the Wayward Children that falls a little flat.

Also I gotta say, for a place that has "No Quests" posted on the door, Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children sure consistently fails to enforce that!

I really enjoy McGuire's narration, how she brings both the characters and setting to life.

In book 5 of Wayward Children, she tells of what happened to Jack and Jill Willcott after their return to The Moors, a portal world that is basically the lovechild of Stoker and Shelley. The sibling relationship and the friendships and interactions of the kids of Eleanor West's School for Wayward Children fill the book with a whole set of emotional ups and downs.

Overall a really good story

First, thank you to Netgalley for providing a copy of the e-book for review.

I enjoy how McGuire goes back and forth between individual's stories and stories involving a group from the school.

The story of Jack and Jill continues in this book. Out of five stories, we are on our third of Jack and Jill. Their door leads to such an impossible world, I wonder if we will see them again in two books.

McGuire weaves morality and life lessons into this series for young adults. No few adults should also read these for these lessons.

I look forward to the next book in the series.

Man, I really love this series, and I especially love Jack, Christopher, and Kade. I liked Cora a lot from the last book, and this book made me love her even more. Sumi is a delight as well. Basically, the characters are all amazing, and they are what makes this series so wonderful. I also really enjoyed seeing more of the Moors and meeting Gideon. I wonder if we'll see him again? I hope so.
