emmalouisepip 's review for:
The Ten Thousand Doors of January
by Alix E. Harrow
I ended up DNFing this at 44%.
I was excited to read this. A book about Doors leading to different worlds? Sign me up. However this didn't work for me. For some reason the writing didn't click with me. Which was a surprise as so many people seemed to love the writing.
I expected a magical and atmospheric world. But I got neither. It was very slow paced. Which sometimes I love a slow build, this was not one of those times.
I was expecting January to go through Doors. Exploring magical worlds. I wasn't expecting to barely get doors and instead see January read a book about someone else and Doors.
I didn't want to DNF this but at around halfway it felt like a chore. I didn't care about any of the time periods. I didn't care for the characters. Waiting and carrying on in hope for some magical action with the doors wasn't worth it. Maybe I'll try again one day. Maybe audiobook is better. Who knows. I just know this left me disappointed.
