I loved the occasional exploration of using particular words, capitalisations and the general importance of words.
There are fleeting references to various other lands / worlds through the Doors and I would have loved it if these had been explored in some way.

I went into this book with high enough expectations to have been a bit nervous. I enjoyed Once & Future Witches, and my sister had finished this book before me and praised it as having a Starless Sea vibe (while still being quite it's own book). When someone compares a book to one of your all time favorites, the worry of disappointment is high. After a bit of a slow start, I was quite pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed TTDOJ!
<spoilers>I nearly cried at the Scaller family reunion on the pier. My heart breaking for Yule Ian, warring with the guilt of leaving his daughter behind, against his will, but reuniting with his wife after nearly 20 years apart. With Adelaide, letting him stew in his grief for just a moment, before gesturing to January and Bad, limping their way down the dock to celebrate the family reunion they never thought was possible. I also love the open door left for us, the reader, as January reveals her story is the one she wrote for Samuel, to help him remember. And I truly hope January is able to find Jane and write her a way home too.

5.0
- book within a book
- wide-eyed logophile folks with fervent longing for adventure
- escapism from the ugliness and/or banality of life by traveling through different wondrous worlds—both literally and figuratively (which im doing rn—the latter, i mean)
