I love creepy, but I was definitely rooting for them to find a way out. With the horror and otherworldliness of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, the Gothic romance of A Great and Terrible Beauty, and the thrill of American Horror Story, Dollhouse is a tantalizing start to The Dark Carousel series.ĭollhouse sounded so interesting and promising I was very excited to read it, but it had such a frustrating end it left a bitter taste in my mouth (so to speak).

Brief Summary of Book: Far from the Tree by Robin Benway ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One reason my book is so lengthy is that there have been many different kinds of arguments for universal salvation over the last 1,800 years.

In theological usage, universalism is the doctrine that all human beings-and perhaps all intelligent or volitional beings-will come to final salvation and spend an eternity with heaven in God.
