![]() Christopher soon cues into the fact that it is actually Jack who has returned, but something terrible has happened, and if it cannot be undone then she will die. This is quickly followed by the apparent arrival of former student Jill in the protective arms of an unknown young woman, and that is deeply strange for a whole host of reasons that readers of the previous books will understand. It is most definitely a story only McGuire could create, further evidence of the fantastical literary alchemy that this author draws upon with awesome regularity.Ĭome Tumbling Down opens with the sudden (and somewhat terrifying) appearance of a new door, always cause for excitement at the School for Wayward Children. Come Tumbling Down is almost entirely a questing novel, something the students are forbidden to do, and involves death, resurrection, and a host of tested friendships. Picking up story threads from Every Heart a Doorway and Down Among the Sticks and Bones, McGuire brings the saga of Jack and Jill to a final, gut-wrenching end, while also adding another evocative chapter to the ongoing drama of Christopher, Jack’s soulful classmate and friend. ![]() ![]() ![]() Seanan McGuire continues her beautifully dark Wayward Children series with this fifth installment, Come Tumbling Down. ![]()
