This felt like it was written for me.

SPOILERS

Fluidized seas of spores that explode in crazy ways when hydrated, strong female lead who doesn't truly realise how special she is until she has her own loyal crew of pirates insisting on helping her, curses that prevent the cursed from informing others of ways to help lift the curse.

A great conclusion to the series.

one of the better cross-over stories in the series, I think.

Good, but long. I appreciate that it built an amazing world, but times felt a slog.

Excellent passages, some I hadn't heard before.

Feels

I love some of the passages, but the narrative is quite... Hand wavy.

BBC podcast version, enough of a taster to want to read properly next year.

I love a flipped fairy tale retelling. And one that isn't filled with lots of fluff to bump up the word count... Chef's kiss.

What I needed this week I think.

I loved it, more so than Dark Matter. It has been three days and I am turning over so many thoughts about the way this book built to its crescendo, and quietly left me with the space to truly sit with the ramifications of the narrative.

An excellently twisty turny multiverse story.

A very compelling story about the discovery of parallel earth's.

Note: I went into this knowing it is ‘Not a Pratchett book' which I think is worth knowing before diving straight in.

Read to my daughter at the library while waiting for her first Library card.

Starts well, drags on at the end.

A fun romp to parallel earth's.

It feels like a thinker... I'll know for sure with time.

Another short gap in the story filled, in hind sight I wish I had read the novellas in the right places, rather than at the end.

Another gap in the story filled.

Fills the gap in the story, albeit briefly.

Gutted that I have caught up on this series. Time to be back in my born world for a while. I look forward to finding another Door soon, I'm sure.

The introduction of another alternative school for wayward children, more sinister... Sometimes more permanent.

I think this was my favourite of the series so far. ‘the market' spoke to me, I guess.

A great story that led me to consider my experience and perception of expeiences with greater criticality.

Didn't really get into this one.
