“…reminded me a lot of HIS DARK MATERIALS…I really love the concept behind these books as while traveling to other worlds is hardly a new concept in fantasy, the idea of having no control over it as well as it affecting mundane life like being unable to open doors is wonderfully terrifying. It’s something Stephen King would come up with and makes the opening very evocative…” - BookNest, C.T. Phipps
“Imagine not being able to open a door without mistakenly opening a portal to another world. It might sound glamorous to some people, but this "gift/curse" occurs whenever any type of door is opened, even a refrigerator...Once again Jamie Thornton has created a winner. I can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the series.“ - Amie's Book Reviews
GoodReads Reviews
“The friendship between Maella and Claritsa was without a doubt the best part of the story for me…there are boys, there is danger, and an engrossing story…”
“…If it wasn't for life getting in the way I would have read it in one sitting…just when you think you know what's going to happen there's a twist! Love it and definitely recommend it.”
“Have you ever read a book and forgot that you were reading? Instead, a movie is playing in your mind as you flip through the pages, completely immersed in the story? Tower of Shadows (the entire Doormaker series, really) was like that for me….Can you say book hangover, much?”
“…A lot of book series I say I can't wait to buy the next one and then forget all about it….This book series is haunting me.”
“…makes the reader rabid to see what happens next!”
“…the author puts little Easter eggs in her main books that she picks up in this short story and you get these "aha" moments.”
“The story takes off on an adventure of epic proportions. The characters face challenges, and thrive in ways I could hardly imagine. They survive worlds that seem determined to exterminate them, finding friendship and developing new strengths. I needed to know more and immediately bought the next book.”
“… a Sliders or Quantum Leap feel…”
“…reluctant heroes, uncertain supporters, suspicion, death defying situations, pain, suffering, addiction, small hints of friendship perhaps love, untruths, misunderstandings…Only to get stuck against a new door. Doors, Doors, Doors, and what one knows is not always the truth.”
“…if you're into magic and gateways get this ASAP.”
