beccaelizabethEvery world through a door she creates makes me realise how this could make this character happy and also how, if they don't quite fit, it could be a nightmare. Different balance on each. This is a world about Rules and Fair Value, and I do not think I would like it best, but I can see the appeal.
It's also a world Lundy jumps for because there's no room to just be a girl, when everyone pushes to being a young woman instead, and there's no room to be a smart bookish girl, not there then. And that's so relatable. Worlds for girls to have adventures in, escape towards work that matters.
But it's sad reading a book all in flashback, when you know how it ends. But still, the details draw you in.
Good book, glad I bought, will buy next one.
