Fantasy. Fiction. Mythology. HTML: Another fantasy audiobook from Seanan McGuire's Wayward Children series, which began with the Alex, Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award-winning, World Fantasy Award finalist, *Every Heart a Doorway.* Beneath the Sugar Sky, the third audiobook in McGuire's Wayward Children series, returns listeners to Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children in a contemporary fantasy for fans of all ages. At this magical boarding school, children who have experienced fantasy adventures are reintroduced to the "real" world. When Rini lands with a literal splash in the pond behind Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children, the last thing she expects to find is that her mother, Sumi, died years before Rini was even conceived. But Rini can't let Reality get in the way of her quest � not when she has an entire world to save! (Much more common than one would suppose.) If she can't find a way to restore her mother, Rini will have more than a world to save: she will never have been born in the first place. And in a world without magic, she doesn't have long before Reality notices her existence and washes her away. Good thing the student body is well-acquainted with quests... A tale of friendship, baking, and derring-do. Warning: May contain nuts. .… (meer)

Whilst this particular story was good, I didn’t love it.
the worlds this author creates, her characters and the writing are just lovely. In theory all of these stories should be 5 stars for me but for some reason there’s something missing but I don’t know what. And yet I continue on hoping the next story will be “the one”. (

One of the rules at Eleanor West's School for Wayward Children is No Quests -- but what else can you do when a girl falls out of the sky and into the turtle pond, wearing a dress made of cake and claiming to be the daughter of a student who died? Rini's mother was supposed to save Confection from an evil queen, then marry her true love and return to his candy corn farm to, well, make a baby -- but that didn't happen, and now Rini is disappearing by inches, and she's come to Miss West's to find out what happened to her mother. Is it possible to bring someone back from the dead?

This was a fun romp, but it's the immediate sequel to Every Heart a Doorway, and I was lacking context since it had been so long since I read that one that I didn't remember all of the characters. So, while some of the books in this series do stand alone, this one benefits from having the background information provided by at least the first book in the series. I enjoyed it in spite of some momentary confusion. (

I've seen people hating on this one for the plot not making sense, and I? Don't understand? This one was probably the most fun installment yet, and I had a blast with it. I feel like the deeper we get into the series the better these stories get since we don't have to keep rehashing the same ground that the first two got a little repetitive with. It can still be a little preachy, which is why I've settled on four stars instead of five. I am begging Seanan McGuire to embrace subtlety with her characters and their struggles. (

As much as I adored the first book in this series, I wasn't expecting to like this one as much as I ended up! It's strange, and convoluted, and the last third of it makes you feel like you're stuck in Princess Bubblegum's Candy Kingdom, but it WORKS. McGuire's weird writing and insightful stories pull all the craziness together and it really makes for an exciting read. (Also I have my fingers crossed we get to see more of Cora's world at some point?!)
I know people say you can read this series in almost any order, but having read three now I would recommend the publication order at this point: "Every Heart a Doorway", then "Down Among the Sticks and Bones" and then this one. (

I thought this entry into the Wayward Children series was OK. I liked Cora, and it was great to spend more time with Christopher. I didn't like Rini. She acted like she was more important than everyone else and she was kinda a bitch. I actually hoped that they would fail at their quest and she would disappear. Nadya wasn't in the book for very long, but she was alright too. My only gripe with her part of the story was that because I know Russian Belyyreka doesn't make sense grammatically. Белый (white-masculine) Река (river-feminine). Adjectives have to agree with the gender of the noun that they are modifying. It should be Белая Река - Belyyareka. (
