"Beneath the Sugar Sky" by Seanan McGuire

This is the third book in the Wayward Children series. The book description is:

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.)

I was relatively disappointed with this entry. It's not bad, but it's also not really interesting enough for me to want to plow through another 7+ books in the series.

Recommend if:
  • You like isekai adventures
  • You're looking for some light reading
  • You like big ensemble casts with lots of different personalities
Do not recommend if:
  • You're into heavy worldbuilding
  • You read Every Heart a Doorway and were more interested in the emotional journey of the characters than their fantasy adventures
  • You want to really get to know the characters in the story
