Holy shit why haven’t I read this book sooner. It’s so good and magical and exactly in my alley.
I would compare this book to The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern in vibes.
Alix managed to write this book in a way I start to believe there may be actually Doors hidden in our world. It makes me want to go and explore, see if I can end up in different worlds, without minding the risk of ending up in a shitty one. I love how stories are woven through this book it makes it so much more magical.
The Once and Future Witches was my first book by Alix E Harrow and I will absolutely read more if she decides to publish them.
