Hope hurts. That's what you need to learn, and fast, if you don't want it to cut you open from the inside out. Hope is bad. Hope means you keep on holding to things that won't ever be so again, and so you bleed an inch at a time until there's nothing left.
I always wonder what happened when all of those Narnia kids go back to our real world, how they continue their regular life, how they trying to re-adjust their relationship with other people after they discover and live in such a magical world.
And the idea of this book offers the answer to my question.
She was a story, not an epilogue. And if she chose to narrate her own life one word at a time as she descended the stairs to meet her newest arrival, that wasn't hurting anyone. Narration was a hard habit to break, after all.
Eleanor West’s Home for Wayward Children is a school for those kids who went to that magical world and now has come back into the real world. The problem is, most of them didn't want to go back, they have changed and somehow their parents couldn't understand why and want their kids to be "normal" again.
At the beginning, everything went smooth and I have no issue with this book. I was intrigued how will Nancy, our main protagonist will survive in her new boarding school.
And then, the issue came... Nancy's roommate got murdered on her second day of her arrival. Suddenly the story shifts to "what's going on in this peaceful school?" and everything just went down from this point.
Because hope is a knife that can cut through the foundations of the world
Every Heart a Doorway had so much potential to be loved by me. Sadly, it may work for some people but it just didn't work for me.
You shouldn't close doors just because you don't like what's on the other side
My rating is 2 stars.
