The Ten Thousand Doors of January

“Words and their meanings have weight in the world of matter, shaping and reshaping realities through a most ancient alchemy.”

A very solid fantasy read about January Scaller who is on a journey inspired by a strange book (accompanied by an awesome dog) . We get to see the story from the perspective of January as it is written in first person which lets us see her development as her journey unfolds. The villains were capital V, Villains; and our hero is very determined and won't let anything get in the way of reuniting true love.

I do wish the fantasy aspects of this book went into more depth and we could see more of what there is to offer. I also feel the “why” of how it worked could have been explained too. The story was also a bit linear, which is fine, but I would have liked to see some more twists and turns. However, this did not stop me from diving into this book for a very fun, exciting read.
