I loved the concept of this book, but the writing style was not for me; I almost put it down several times. The story was god at first, but once the full capability of the Book of Doors was revealed, the story followed every time travel trope, eventually eating its own tail. There were some plot holes, or maybe I was too busy rolling my eyes to pay attention.

Fascinating worldbuilding. The author builds tension well and has a deft hand with foreshadowing. I really enjoyed the various characters and relationships and the twists and turns in the plot were fascinating. Every time I felt I knew what was going to happen, I was surprised. Cassie's emotional journey was well realised. A very enjoyable read.
