If you like your books to have a very clear, direct plot, this is not the book for you.
If you dislike your books to have a very dreamy, foggy, fairy-tale like quality, this is not the book for you.
If you aren't completely in love with the idea of stories -- telling, listening, learning them -- this is not the book for you.
HOWEVER, if you like all of those things, then dive right in. This book is about other books. About stories. About beginnings, middles, and endings. Its about meanings, and directions, and finding where you are meant to be. There are cats, and bees, and books, and ballrooms, and ships. And doors. So, so, so many doors.
I really, really enjoyed this book. It has a very similar feeling to The Night Circus without being similar actually at all. Does that make sense? You'll feel a little bit like you're floating along, following the story by your nose.
I have a feeling I'm going to have a bit of a book hangover with this one.
