It’s also incredibly earnest, in that endearing puppy way, all big eyes and enthusiasm.īut, as most debuts, it also suffers from the usual maladies of adolescence: first and foremost, it’s a YA book, and I’ve no more patience with this genre. It is an entertaining, character-focused book, with languorously meandering action and an interesting cast of secondary characters. You see, there are indeed many things that The Ten Thousand Doors of January should be praised for, particularly a highly inventive use of the symbolism and meaning of portals, thresholds and doors, successfully employing plenty of references to various myths and folktales I’m a sucker for. I should’ve paid more attention to the elements that weren’t complimented, I think, armed as I am now with hindsight. And that’s what I remembered about them: they were all positive, sometimes even raving, and all praising the author’s imagination and poetic language. Harrow’s debut novel, The Ten Thousand Doors of January, has made its rounds around the blogosphere over the last two years, with predominantly – almost exclusively, in fact – positive reviews.

It can be difficult for authors to accept an illustrator’s interpretation of their creation. This may have been a contributing factor to the artist’s apparent reluctance to commit to illustrating Through the Looking-Glass. It has been said that Tenniel was sometimes exasperated by the sheer volume of Carroll’s requested amendments to his drawings. Tensions occasionally run high between the creators of verbal and visual versions of a narrative. The relationship between author and artist can vary greatly. Roald Dahl’s stories have become almost inseparable from Quentin Blake’s pictures, and Thomas Henry’s images of William defined him as succinctly as the writing of Richmal Crompton. Sir John Tenniel’s original drawings for Lewis Carroll’s “Alice” books are, for many readers, impossible to disentangle from the text. In children’s literature, a small number of classics are remembered for their illustrations as much as they are for the author’s words.

We are a little late to the game, in that the whole series has already been released. This is the second installment in a five-book series. And because of that it got a solid 5/5 stars from both of us. Any book that inspires my son to keep reading when the timer goes off is a big winner in my books. He often reads well beyond the minimum 20 minutes a day. My son read it to me as part of his daily reading. We picked up the eBook as soon as we were home, and my son devoured it. They read every night before bed and he was hooked after the first few chapters. We picked up the first book in this series, Trapped in a Video Game, after my son started reading it with his cousins.

I think one of my biggest complaints with Alex and Eliza is that it did not feel like historical fiction or even close to being historically accurate. I know many Hamilton fans really appreciate the musical’s originality, and even though Alex and Eliza is not related the musical, I think this book’s target audience will be disappointed with its unoriginal, slow-moving plot. Even though I’ve never seen the musical, I am not sure that this book’s target audience would connect well with the story in this book. With Hamilton’s recent popularity, it is not surprise that the trend seeped into young adult literature. Much to to her parent’s dismay, Elizabeth starts to fall for Alexander without a fortune or name. As a result, Elizabeth’s mother is determined to marry off her three daughters to wealthy, respectable men in order to preserve the family wealth and name. After Elizabeth’s father loses Saratoga, the family is on the brink of financial ruin. Alex and Eliza by Melissa De La Cruz focuses on the love story between Alexander Hamilton, a young colonel, and Elizabeth Schuyler, a daughter from one of America’s wealthiest families.
