Review - The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow

January Scaller live in a mansion with her guardian Mr. Locke, a collector of peculiar treasures. In many ways, January is part of his collection, until she finds a stranger book that tells the story of love, adventure, danger, and secret doors to other worlds. Each page reveals impossible truths about the world, and a story that quickly becomes entwined with her own.

This historical portal fantasy begins in a quiet corner of New England at the turn of the last century, and the story unfolds with an intriguing magical system and a wild cast of characters. January might not be perfectly likable, but as she untangles the threads around her she takes control of her life and will bring you on an unexpected ride.
