Very very meh

Listened to this on audiobook. I found the premise of this book to be interesting and fun. But holy crap so much stuff could have been cut out of this book. I almost DNFd in the first third because it was DRAGGING ON. Then things finally start happening and then there's another sudden lull where it's just dragging...I found myself not really caring about any of the characters and what might happen to them.

And why did it take so long for a book called the thousand doors to actually really have things going on with doors?!

I finished it up because as I said, the premise was intriguing and I wanted to see what was done with it. I didn't hate it. But I didn't like it and it's not one that I will be recommending to people.

Review of 'The Ten Thousand Doors of January' on 'Goodreads'

I listened on audio book. I enjoyed parts but felt it went on a bit too long and jumped around a lot, but not in a good way. I was bored by the end. It didn't really ever grab my attention

Review of 'The Ten Thousand Doors of January' on 'Storygraph'

This was a wonderful book. It had magic, other worlds, and twists that genuinely surprised me! When I started describing this book to my husband at one point, he said "Wait, there's another book inside your book?"

Yes, friends, this book is like two books in one.
