Every Heart a Doorway

Book cover: Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire

McGuire hits upon a winning premise and spends this first novella laying down the rules. The plot itself is minimal, almost immaterial (though the characters do function well as representatives of the different types of magical worlds). Hopkins reads with dreamy remoteness.

McGuire has crafted a multifaceted faerie world overlaid upon modern-day San Francisco. Even though the crime and investigation don’t amount to much, October Daye remains an easy protagonist to follow, her sardonic faux-hardboiled narration well-handled in audio form by Mary Robinette Kowal.
