How was Starling House? I've got it on hold but it hasn't come in yet. I really enjoyed The Ten Thousand Doors of January, so my hopes are high!

I really loved it! The setting is great, Opal was fascinating, and I totally fell in love with the house. The final third felt a bit meandering, but in a way I found enjoyable. Apparently some editions have a final chapter (after the epilogue and the author's acknowledgements) that gives some additional closure.

Oooh, interesting. I love an alternate(?) ending, so I'll have to track down a copy with that extra chapter!

I think it’s a “five years later” kind of thing, and works as an extended epilogue. I will say that the ending felt a bit abrupt without it, or like I just wanted to spend more time with the characters. It’s probably worth tracking down (B&N special edition) if your library copy doesn’t have it!
