A magical, thrilling fantasy about time travel, magic books, and adventure!  When a young bookseller discovers a curious book left behind by one of her favourite customers, the Book of Doors, she learns that the book can take her through any door in the world and through time. But the fun is short-lived when book collectors start to hunt down the magic book. Through her adventures she learns there are many more powerful and dangerous books in existence. This story features multiple POV's and timelines, as well as some terrifying characters that wish to use the books for pure evil. I really enjoyed this one and didn't get too lost with the various timelines! Highly recommend to anyone that loves time travel and magic!
