5.0

adventurous dark emotional sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

A more mature version of " Every Heart a Doorway" with a similar premise of alternate worlds accessible through doors. The mood of the ending was

quite happy and hopeful. It was fairy tale perfect but it felt earned.

You could call this a mystery. I liked picking up hints and guessing at what was to come. It might be a bit obvious to some people cuz that's not my best skill.
I almost don't like when books take a meta approach that makes me want to believe in the fantastical things. My brain crushes my hopes while my heart longs for them.
