The Book of Doors

"At the beginning I wasn't sure about the writing... but once it got into it, I loved it! Time travel is so tricky..."

"I enjoyed, I had higher expectations. I was hoping for something deeper."

"Any door can be every door.  On a snowy night working the closing shift at a bookshop, one of Cassie's customers dies suddenly.  He leaves her a notebook with a note to see the world.  Cassie soon learns that the book is magical.  While holding it in her hand and thinking of a doorway anywhere in the world, the doorway in front of her would magically transform into the other doorway, allowing her to instantly go somewhere else. Cassie soon learns that this isn't the only magical book.  There are more books- each similar in size and shape, but each with a different magic.  There are people who search for and collect these magical books.  There is one woman who won't let anything get in the way from adding to her collection. The characters are well developed.  They make you feel - heartache, loneliness, love, fear, disgust, awe, and msee. The locations are easily imagined.  The Fox Library might be my new favorite book library. The magical system is new but so perfect for book lovers.  Books are their own kind of magic.  Making them magical is genious. It is told on multiple timelines.  As you read, pieces from the past and the present come together to complete a flawless picture.  A sign of a good book is getting so invested, you find yourself talking to the characters.  Another sign is ending the book on a sigh, knowing the book will stay with you forever. If the Book of Doors was a movie, it would appeal to everyone.  It has magic, exotic locations, fight scenes, a paticularly heinous villan, and relationships.   I recommend it for book clubs.  There are so many things I want to talk about. For example:  How would I use the book of Doors?  What kind of magical book would you want to carry in your pocket?  My content warnings include- Death, murder, cancer, guns, gun violence, torture, blood and gore This is a clean book with no sex.

"Fun and full of twists and turns! There are various special books in the world with magical properties. The main character finds herself in possession of a book, The Book of Doors, that allows her to open any door in the world, from anywhere. It’s an amazing and rare artifact, and dangerous, ruthless book hunters want the power for themselves. Chaos and adventure ensue! "

"Oh my god! What a story! I was obsessed. I loved how the story played out. Parts I guessed and parts I did not. This story loops together so well."

"I loved this book! The characters from all over the world and plot make this book feel like a movie. I’m not able to read many books as I lose interest quickly. But I read this book in one week and I loved every second. "

"(3.75) 405 pages… I’m sooo upset by the ending of this book. It makes you feel so so bad for the main villain but with no resolution because she meets a terrible end. It was also a bit slow getting into. But it’s an interesting concept and the time travel is well done and not confusing "

"This book made the list of books that took far too long to finish. It was a great story with a few twists I didn't see coming but I put it down after the first 100 pages because I wasn't sold with the story that was given to me by that point. The villain was pure perfection. Her evil doings, attitude, and introduction were nothing short of fantastic. With that exception, the introduction of the 3-4 main characters in this story did not wow me. Their growth and involvement developed beautifully but their initial reveal was slow, at best. Overall, a great story. Just stick with it because the last 2/3 of the book was great."

"Loved this book!"

"<strong>An amazing tale of magic and time</strong><br/><br/>I really loved the imagery stimulated by the author’s writing - reminded me of a female adult version of Harry Potter. You never knew what might be coming next but you just had to keep reading in order to find out. Keeping track of “when” and where Cassie was fun and kept the novel interesting. This book is guaranteed to please book lovers but also remains a great story for other reader. Fantastic - I certainly hope there will be a follow-up written - it would be an automatic required reading book purchase!"
