Mr. Death
by Alix E. Harrow

★★★★☆
Extremely strong story of the protagonist serving as a Reaper in the Department of Deat. Take the CWs seriously, I cried (in a good way (but still)).
The Ten Thousand Doors of January
by Alix E. Harrow
· published 2019 · read 2021-05-13
★★☆☆☆
Coming-of-age stories are possibly just not for me anymore. The book-driven portal fantasy is nice enough, and the helping of "remember how bad turn-of-the-century racism is" is not bad if a bit forced, but … I just didn't care about the predictable story. If only there had been a bigger focus on the portals, or the portal writing, or the portal worlds … I can appreciate why this book is popular, but it felt more generic than it should have to me.
