“McGuire’s prose is elegant and earnest as ever and she writes especially poignantly about the deep and instinctive longing for home….This stuns.” –Publishers Weekly, starred review on Through Gates of Garnet and Gold

“A mini-masterpiece of portal fantasy – a jewel of a book that deserves to be shelved with Lewis Carroll’s and C. S. Lewis’ classics” –NPR on Every Heart a Doorway

“The series as a whole has wonderfully internally consistent world building and characters, no matter how far in the background, with complexity and depth.” –Booklist

“A great read for middle and high schoolers who enjoy themes of friendship and family, and a magical world of unicorns and centaurs.” –School Library Journal on Across the Green Grass Fields

Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire is one of the most extraordinary stories I’ve ever read.” –V. E. Schwab

“This is another gem from McGuire.” –Publishers Weekly on Adrift in Currents Clean and Clear
