If Alix E. Harrow has no fans I an dead. This women can't write a bad book. As I am finished reading all of Harrows full length books I will say this, her stories may start slow but they never disappoint. January is a bi racial girl living in her father's employers house while he travels the world to find treasures. When she discovers a door to another world at age 7, she opens up her own world to possibilities beyond comprehension and a tale of true love that spans decades and portals. I adored this book, no surprise there. The way this is written almost as a letter to a friend depicting a gruesome and enchanting tale of escape, found family, and adventure, is so beautiful and typical of Harrow. I can never recommend her books enough even if they ruin all other books for me.
