Maybe it's my love of escapism through books that perpetuates my love of the 'door to another world/place/time' theme. Whatever it is, I always find joy in books like make use of doors.
The Book of Doors was no different - I found myself drawn into the story almost immediately and was thrilled to continue to learn more about what special books existed and how they came to be. While I enjoyed the characters - although they did feel a little flat at times - the plot is where this book thrived. As a very character-focused reader, I was so much more interested in what would happen next, what books would be found and used, how the protagonists tackled 'The Woman' and her goals, and what that meant for the special books in the end.

Hold it in your hand, and any door is every door.
