strange things afoot

Seanan McGuire has finally started a book series that doesn't work for me. I've read either two or three novels in her Wayward Children series. In theory, I like the premise: a school for teens who are stuck back in our world, after having strayed into other worlds. Most hope to return to those other worlds, but that outcome is in doubt. For whatever reason--maybe too much dark whimsy?--these books just don't keep my interest in the same way as her other works. It wasn't a "skip to the end" situation; McGuire's prose is competent (even beautiful in these books, because it's more fitting to the characters and situations), her plotting capable. I'm just not going to buy more in this series in the future.

I've seen the first three episodes of Stranger Things, season three. ( lacking in enthusiasm but probably continuing )
