Join the students of Eleanor West, and jump through doors into worlds both dangerous and extraordinary…
We’re thrilled to share the cover of Seanan McGuire’s Be Sure, an omnibus collecting the first three books of the Wayward Children series—available July 18, 2023 from Tordotcom Publishing.
Author Seanan McGuire, on Rovina Cai’s cover art: “Rovina has been with us from the beginning, and having a cover from her that shows the complexity and breadth of the world is simply amazing!”

Be Sure
Children have always disappeared under the right conditions; slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere… else.
But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children.
Meet Nancy, cast out of her world by the Lord of the Dead; Jack and Jill, each adopted by a monster of the Moors; Sumi and her impossible daughter, Rini.
Three worlds, three adventures, three sets of lives destined to intersect.
Book 1: Every Heart a Doorway
Book 2: Down Among the Sticks and Bones
Book 3: Beneath the Sugar Sky“The way Seanan McGuire handled Nancy — and the way she’s handled all of the queer characters in this series — made me feel seen in a way I didn’t know I needed.” — Buzzfeed

Lost in the Moment and Found
Happy dance!
What? I’m supposed to be working now? Think I’ll take a little break. The new format looks good.
Thanks, Alice and Carl!
Ooh, happy day! Welcome back, Carl! Excited to see what you and Alice have to say. The new format looks fantastic, can’t wait to jump in!
And we thought we were crazy taking on the Malazan series . . .
I salute thee, intrepid re-readers, as you continue onward. Looking forward to this!
Congrats, Wet! Now if only we could find appropriate Tor.com jobs for Free, Subwoofer, Forkroot and Isilel….
Glad it’s started up again. I expect tons of awesomeness!
And so it begins! I’m looking forward to Carl and Alice/Wetlander’s version of the reread.
I think the proposed reformatting looks rather promising; there are a variety of topics that can allow for all types of discussion (the “Shipping Wars” should be fun to read).
Thanks Alice and Carl.
Yes!
I’ll hafta come spoil myself, just to show where my loyalties lie. Looking forward to this!
Oh! Goody, Goody!
(Sorry, too much Mickey Mouse Clubhouse)
Liking the outline of the new format. it will be interesting to see how it changes and expands.
Yes! Yes yes yes!
I like the modular system you guys are talking about doing–though I’ll miss being “the guy” that swings in and gives the Herald Icon / interpretation every week. Can’t wait to share my increasingly detailed thoughts about WoR on the re-read!
