alix-e-harrow/the-ten-thousand-doors-of-january | reviews | Coming-of-age stories are possibly just not for me anymore. The book-driven portal fantasy is nice enough, and the helping of "remember how bad turn-of-the-century racism is" is not bad if a bit forced, but … I just didn't care about the predictable story. If only there had been a bigger focus on the portals, or the portal writing, or the portal worlds … I can appreciate why this book is popular, but it felt more generic than it should have to me. | 2021-05-13 | The Ten Thousand Doors of January | #8b6e42 | 0316421995 | 9780316421997 | 2019 | http://covers.openlibrary.org/b/isbn/9780316421997-L.jpg | 384 | 2 |
