I loved this more than I did the first time I read it. Maybe the audiobook is why I loved it more.

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.

I picked this up after doing a try a chapter tag. The prologue made me intrigued.
As I read this I swayed between caring and not. I spent most of the book wondering how the two cases were connected. I did figure that part out. I think it was obvious, so I don't know why it took me so long. I guess I wondered if the twist would change that.
I didn't figure the actual killer and the reveal left me underwhelmed. After being so intrigued going into this I expect more.
Overall it was a decent read. Just the reveal let me down.

now I want to reread The Raven Boys
