Le tenía muchas ganas a este libro desde que lo vi en inglés y la verdad es que me ha gustado mucho. Es uno de esos libros que es como una peli palomitera: te adentras en la historia, te engancha y lo disfrutas hasta el final, dejándote con la sensación de haber vivido una aventura muy entretenida.

Nuestra protagonista es Cassie, una librera que recibe un misterioso regalo de un cliente: El libro de las puertas, un libro con el que una puerta puede ser cualquier puerta... Todas las puertas. Con esta premisa empieza una historia en la que Cassie tendrá que descubrir si el libro es un regalo o una maldición, cuál es su historia y por qué hay gente peligrosa que va tras él... Y el lector la acompaña en su camino... a través del tiempo.

Creo que la trama está bien construida, que siempre me parece un reto en las historias sobre viajes en el tiempo, y con un buen ritmo que no deja que te relajes hasta el final.

Me he quedado con ganas de más!

I’m still not sure how to put my shock and delight into words when it comes to The Book of Doors. It’s not a cozy romance, and it’s not bone-chilling horror—it sits somewhere in between, constantly defying expectations. The story doesn’t even unfold in order most of the time, yet I could easily read it again and still gasp audibly at the plot twists that drop every few chapters.

The villains are truly vile—evil in a way that makes your skin crawl—while the good characters are like the soothing relief of ice water on a sweltering day. The concept is a mind-bender, often posing impossible questions without clear answers. I felt genuine rage when the wicked walked free and frustration when the good paid the price.

And that ending? It tied the whole story together in a perfect loop, like a song you can’t help but replay. A fascinating, unpredictable read that lingers long after you close the book.
