Mislaid in Parts Half-Known by Seanan McGuire
3.5
Mislaid in Parts Half-Unknown by Seannan McGuire is a quick bite I devoured in one afternoon.
Apparently it's part of a series of quick stories, it wasn't marked as a series on Everand, so this is the first one I read.
It definitely works as a stand alone, even if there are plenty of characters and the whole premise of kids walking through "doors" which we probably learned about in earlier installments. For me it was easy enough to follow and I didn't feel lost at any point.
I did like the characters, some of them quite a bit weird, and the way the different worlds were completely unique. From a shop to dinosaurs to Candyland of more fairytale like, none was like the other.
It all was just a bit too easy and quick for me to get as invested as I would have liked. But for a quick read between the big tomes, it's a great choice!
