I love this book. I've already re-read it four or five times since I first picked it up six years ago and I plan to re-read it again. And this is from a girl who very rarely re-reads. What can I say, I'm a sucker for the old she hates him-she loves him trope where the love interest is initially the mysterious bad boy the heroine sees as an antagonist. Plus, the concept of every door opening into another landscape (including one into an amazing library) is wish-fulfillment for me. However, do not

It was okay, but I don't like the thread where Vanion tricks Dara, seduces her and then she falls in love with him More...

I would probably give this a two and a half. It took me a really long time to read, I think mainly because I just didn't find it that interesting.

The characters were somewhat bland mainly because there was no time given to investing the reader into the characters.
Overall it was a fine read, but not a book I couldn't put down.

An interesting fantasy novel. It reminds me a bit of the movie Labyrinth.

Really good book. It's got a really interesting story line, and it's easy to get drawn into. You might be able to guess the ending, but it's not the most obvious.
