Come Tumbling Down - Seanan McGuire

Jack and Jill are back! This is the third Jack and Jill centric book in the Wayward Children series and more in line with Beneath the Sugar Sky. This book is not a prequel detailing the lives of a child who ends up at Elinor West's Home for Wayward Children. Instead Come Tumbling Down follows events after Every Heart a Doorway.

Jack and Jill were gone from the scene. Jill had murdered a few people trying to get back to the Moors, trying to get back into the good graces of The Master, a vampire ruler who took Jill under his wing and taught her to be cruel. Following the gruesome murder of Jack's girlfriend, Jill and Jack departed the Moors and ended up at Elinor West's. Then went back to the Moors when Jack had killed Jillian, preventing her from becoming a vampire.

And this is all normal Moors stuff because there, a dead person is never really dead. So Jack will be able to resurrect her sister, save her from an undead fate, and hopefully take up with her girlfriend who will also hopefully not dead. And all this is what happened. Until, well, Jill really wanted to be a vampire and needed a never dead body. Since Jack had a nice warm body just sitting there, they performed the old-switcheroo.

Jack became Jill and Jill became Jack and Jack-in-Jill had to run for her life through a door. When she lands back in the basement at Elinor West's to find Christopher has occupied her former room, Sumi is definitely not dead, and a mermaid girl is now in the group. So again, our folks go travelling, this time to the Moors to try to put the girls back in the right bodies, and start a war for the balance of power in the Moors.

All of our friends with their various gifts become involved. And the despair of someone like Christopher, like Cade become more acute as they see their friends called back to their homes and they remain in our world.

I'm excited for the next book in this series. None of them disappoint.

4/5 Stars.
