January and her father live under the care of an incredibly wealthy man named Locke. We meet January and are introduced to her special circumstances. I would say it took me almost 30% of the story to become really invested – now that might sound a bit much but maybe take that with a pince of salt because I can be something of an eager beaver when I first start a new book and the early chapters, whilst beautifully written are primarily setting up the stall. Well, I’ll start off with my one issue or possible criticism – simply to get it out of the way early and to give you a hint of what you might expect. The only problem I now have is how to write a review that does this book justice. This is a literary masterpiece that is just begging to become a classic and by the time I put this down I had goosebumps breaking out and tears threatening to spill. A book of infinite possibilities filled with doors, locks and keys and wonderful characters. It left me thinking of so many things all at once and put me in mind of Narnia, Wonderland, Pan’s Labyrinth and Middle Earth whilst being nothing like any of those things. It’s like a love letter to fantasy fiction readers. Oh my giddy aunt – this book just blew me away. ![]()
