Yet despite having her heart indisputably in the right place, McGuire’s newest series is wildly uneven in its storytelling. It’s a rich premise that promises a potentially endless stream of story ideas. Seanan McGuire’s Wayward Children novellas offer revisionist portal fantasies where ever-afters may not always be so happy, and mystical otherworlds may not be any more accepting of those who travel there than the mundane and unhappy lives they’ve tried to escape. And portal fantasies in particular are the kinds of stories that directly target that feeling among life’s misfits that perhaps we don’t really belong, and we’d be so much happier if we could open a wardrobe or find a secret path through the woods that will lead us to a special realm of wonder, romance, adventure, and happily-ever-afters.
