The 10,000 Doors Of January is a beautifully written, heart-rending journey across worlds that reunites parents and child. The novel's unique format, historical setting, and strong female characters make it a standout, despite the reviewer's usual avoidance of its genres.

The 10,000 Doors Of January is a book that truly captivated the reviewer. It's a beautifully written, heart-rending journey across worlds that reunites parents and child. The novel's unique format, being a book within a book, is a favorite of the reviewer's and adds a special layer to the story. The historical setting in the 1900s adds a certain charm and magic that might be lost in a modern world. The reviewer was particularly drawn to the strong, defiant female characters and the themes of sisterhood, racism, and classism. January, the main character, is a standout with her bull-headed yet naive nature. The reviewer usually avoids the genres of romance and historical fiction, but Harrow turned their preconceptions on their head. The reviewer loved the book from start to finish, finding it to be a near-perfect read.

disappointing 2.00

The reviewer found the premise and main character of 'The 10,000 Doors of January' intriguing, but struggled with the pacing and confusing book-within-a-book structure. Despite the beautiful cover and promising start, the book fell flat for them, with only the ending showing potential.

The reviewer had high hopes for 'The 10,000 Doors of January' due to its cool premise, beautiful cover, and the main character's name being January, which is their birth month. However, they found the pacing to be almost painfully slow, comparing it to standing in line at the DMV. The constant focus on the color and race of characters, including January herself, and the confusing book-within-a-book structure made the reading experience challenging. While the ending hinted at magical doors leading to fantastical lands, the story did not deliver on these promises. Despite their personal disappointment, the reviewer acknowledged that some members of their book club loved the book, and they would still recommend it to others who might enjoy its unique elements.

Quick quotes

    I really hate to say it, I hope I don't sound ridiculous, I did not enjoy this book and that kills me because I really wanted to.

    There was a pacing issue that I struggled with the most.

    Near the end of the book there are mentions of doors that lead to magical lands of dragon and flying cats, etc. but we got NONE of that in the story.
