I'm finally free of this book

No in-depth review. This book is better experienced without knowing anything. Loved the prose, the characters, the setting, the House.
It was beautiful.

“The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.”

“These doors will sing. Silent siren songs for those who seek what lies behind them. For those who feel homesick for a place they've never been to. Those who seek even if they do not know what (or where) it is that they are seeking. Those who seek will find. Their doors have been waiting for them.”

I read this book in December and it's February now and I'm still thinking about it (and all the confusing things that happened near the end). Safe to say, that a lot of the things that confused me earlier have started to make sense now after some deliberation over time.

I loved the story, the characters, the recurring bey-key-sword symbolism. But I have to say this, I am not a fan of the UK hardcover because I have a phobia of bugs (anything with more than 4 legs) and drawing a big-ass bee on the damn cover DID NOT HELP! Even if the bees in the story were polite.

This book was a love letter to books and readers. Even with all the confusing stuff, having characters that loved books so much that they followed the story in them to unknown places was very mesmerizing.

“Having a physical reaction to a lack of book is not unusual.”

Loved this duology. Every single character was so well written with so many emotions. Do you always have to kill the character who starts to change after giving them a redemption arc 😢

4.5 stars!
This book was amazing! Very less gore and torture than advertised. The beginning was a bit slow but once all the characters were introduced, not only did the story pick up but it was humourous is a unique way and enjoyable.

And as always, the best part was near the end when all the characters met and chaos ensued
