Where the Drowned Girls Go

By: Seanan McGuire

Narrated by: Whitney Johnson

In Where the Drowned Girls Go, the next addition to Seanan McGuire's beloved Wayward Children series, students at an anti-magical school rebel against the oppressive faculty

"Welcome to the Whitethorn Institute. The first step is always admitting you need help, and you’ve already taken that step by requesting a transfer into our company."

There is another school for children who fall through doors and fall back out again.
It isn't as friendly as Eleanor West's Home for Wayward Children.
And it isn't as safe.

When Eleanor West decided to open her school, her sanctuary, her "Home for Wayward Children," she knew from the beginning that there would be children she couldn’t save; when Cora decides she needs a different direction, a different fate, a different prophecy, Miss West reluctantly agrees to transfer her to the other school, where things are run very differently by Whitethorn, the Headmaster.

She will soon discover that not all doors are welcoming...

One of the most enchanting

This installment is the exact reason I keep coming back to this series. The world building is a joy and I'm continually finding myself swimming in new thoughts about the functionality of fairy lands and what it means to be a hero.
I loved this one.

Exhilarating! Really Brings the Series Together

This series has always felt approachable from any angle. When I recommend it, I stress that the reading order isn’t set in stone. That being said, when I read ‘Across the Green Grass Fields’ I felt disconnected; it didn’t tie into the other Wayward Children stories as previous books had. Now, I’m so glad for that book! This volume wouldn’t have been possible without that foundation. This one truly brings all the previous works together! Seanan McGuire is a genius and I can’t wait to read whatever comes next.

I love the way Seanan connects the stories

I thoroughly enjoy the fact that The Wayward Children books can be read as standalone stories or in order. I am currently rereading the series and still love it so much.

Great universe, but slow pacing

I love the universe McGuire has built and this story had great potential. It just too long to past the cruelty of the school to understand what was happening. Once we got the reveal, the book ended abruptly. Unlike the rest of the books in the series, we never got the magical adventure that has made the stories so wonderful.

I would still buy the book again because McGuire knows how to write characters.

Loved this series!!

Storybook, weird, fairytales and I really love the world! Short and sweet! Audiobook is amazing too! Would recommend!
