I really enjoyed this story. There are a number of back stories, while slow in places they tie nicely together in the end.
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.
