Well what a fantastical story this is. It tells of January Scaller, a young woman growing up at the turn of the 20th century who is sucked into an adventure that takes her between worlds. January’s father is an employee of the fabulously wealthy Mr. Locke, he travels the world searching for lost treasures and valuable artefacts to add to his employer’s immense collection. While her father is away, January staves off the boredom of the high society life she’s been adopted into by losing herself in pulp adventure novels. One day, she discovers a mysterious book called The Ten Thousand Doors, and inside its pages she mets the vivacious Miss Adelaide Lee Larson—a remarkable woman who lived a few decades earlier, and left an account of her years spent exploring, and her discovery that some doors don’t lead to where you would expect them to.
Unfortunately after the first couple of chapters I got confused about what was going on, but around the halfway mark I felt like I was starting to make progress, the plot was making more sense and things seemed to be going places. To be honest though I was glad to finish it.
∼ Happy Reading∼

Sometimes plots are just too complicated for their own damn good.
ReplyDeleteI know, I think it must be easy to get carried away with a plot.
