About this listen
In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, she feels little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored and utterly out of place.
But her quiet existence is shattered when she stumbles across a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other worlds and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure and danger. Each page reveals more impossible truths about the world, and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own.

Critic reviews
"A gorgeous, aching love letter to stories, storytellers and the doors they lead us through...absolutely enchanting." (Christina Henry, best-selling author of Alice)
"A gorgeously written story of love and longing, of what it means to lose your place in the world and then have the courage to find it again. This book is a door I'm glad to have opened." (Kat Howard, author of An Unkindness of Magicians)
"A tantalising quest through strange and beautiful places and a love story that spans time, worlds and magic. I couldn't put it down." (Peng Shepherd, author of The Book of M)

Okay
This could have been so good but the heroine, January, was just too stupid. So frustrating and some beautiful prose doesn’t take away from such irritating plot points. Great narration but honestly, how you can get past the Arcadian door without throwing the book out is beyond me!

Twists and Turns
This Author has a wonderful way with words. Her imagination and the way she writes is exceptional. I loved that her storyline had so many twists and turns. This is only my second adult fantasy story and I thoroughly enjoyed all the different dimensions.

Worth the listen, wish there was more
Great ideas all though the story, is definitely worth the listen but it could have been developed into soo much more. the conclusion of everything is crammed was to 'perfectly' into the last chapter. this one book could have been a series if it was well developed. felt a bit short changed. There are so many doors, worlds and adventures that could feed from this.

Great concept
January is extremely unlikeable for most of this book. Why later becomes apparent, but it doesn’t help if you give up reading because of it.
Love the concept, loved the book, but wow was she annoying at times.
