Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire
4.0
I'm always a sucker for stories about fairy tales because of that one course I took on fairy tales and fantasy conventions. Every Heart a Doorway is spot on with the tropes in a non-conventional way that it was such a fun read, regardless of how short it was. It had darker vibes than The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, and less detailed. Almost expecting the reader to have some form of knowledge regarding fairy tales and its rules. More importantly for me, though, is the fact of Nancy's asexuality. How the author used the word for it, and made it enough of a big deal but did not make it the central part of Nancy's story. She just happened to be ace, and it was awesome.
