do you like portal fantasies? have you ever wished the Wayward Children series were full length books instead of novellas? do you dream of a grown up version of The Magician's Nephew? because if so, WOW do I have the book for you!
The Ten Thousand Doors of January is an absolutely PHENOMENAL book and you should read it as soon as you possibly can!!!
and also Alix E. Harrow is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE authors and somehow I ended up reading her debut THIRD (I read A Spindle Splintered first, then The Once and Future Witches) and OH MY STARS it's just SO GOOD! her writing style just really works for me and I wish she had at least ten more books for me to read RIGHT NOW! (but there will be more soon and I will wait. patiently. or at least attempting to wait patiently)

I also felt the book was predictable in a lot of ways that stifled my enjoyment. I figured most of the reveals out long before January and just sort of felt disconnected because of it. Normally I’m not someone focused on the reveals and wouldn’t mind but it irritated me.
I wasn’t sold on the romance with Sam until the end bc I thought January wasn’t pulling her weight or really giving him any reason to be interested, but the ending WAS very sweet. I’ll allow it.
