A portal fantasy, a meditation on the roles of portals in mythology and strorytelling, a portal fantasy through a colonial lense and, perhaps most important of all, a rollicking good yarn. Cannot recommend enough.

This is one of the most beautifully written books I’ve ever read. It is among my very favorites! A balanced blend of our world and other worlds, and the magic that flows in and out of and through them.
