![]() ![]() ![]() *Thank you Hachette Book Group Canada for the review copy!* The Likes: Harrow’s spellbinding debut–step inside and discover its magic. Lush and richly imagined, a tale of impossible journeys, unforgettable love, and the enduring power of stories awaits in Alix E. Each page turn reveals impossible truths about the world and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own. A book that carries the scent of other worlds, and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure and danger. Locke, she feels little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored, and utterly out of place. In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. ![]() In the early 1900s, a young woman embarks on a fantastical journey of self-discovery after finding a mysterious book in this captivating and lyrical debut. The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. I am sure if someone were to pop-psycho analyse me then I would fully understand this inner wanderlust and desire to leave this world for something different, but I’m not sure I want to know those answers yet. They are literal stories of escape from this world, just like books are the metaphoric escape from our real lives. ![]() I just love stories that go beyond this world and yet keep that connection alive. The Narnia books were my introductory novels to this genre and…well we all know how obsessed I am with that series. Portal fantasy is probably my favourite type of fantasy and I don’t read it often. ![]()
