A review by ghostingarden
The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow
4.0
I am conflicted on this one. On one hand, I absolutely adore Alix Harrow's writing and find myself enamored by her ability to create beautiful and magical worlds within such mundane settings. I fell for the characters in this book and I think overall I enjoyed it. However, the pacing is a bit weird for me and I found that the weaving between point of views was harsh at first and I found myself skimming some of the first chapters. I also think I went in a little too excited after Starling House and was met with a story that wasn't as satisfying or compelling. I would read it again though!
Graphic: Racism, Violence, and Forced institutionalization
Moderate: Animal cruelty and Racial slurs
