3.0

A Thousand doors gives you a look in the many lives she could have led if she made different choices throughout her life.

Mia Jensen is at a pivotal point. Her soon to be ex is an ass, she comes home from a crap day to decompress, and before she knows what happened- she's laying in a pool of her own blood, left to die. What follows is an anthology of sorts into the many lives she could've led. Are any of those better than the life she might leave? Though she's dying, would she change a thing? What regrets might she have?

A phenomenal premise, a pretty good execution. Ellison's portions at the beginning and end are of course stellar, as are most of the other stories. There were a few in the middle that really didn't do it for me, either in style or subject matter. This left the book as a whole a solid 3 for me. Definitely an intriguing look into this character's many lives and a fantastic collection of some of my favorite authors.

Thanks to NetGalley and Two Tales Press for this copy. All opinions are my own.
