书籍介绍
In the early 1900s, a young woman embarks on a fantastical journey of self-discovery after finding a mysterious book in this captivating and lyrical debut. In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, she feels little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored, and utterly out of place. Then she finds a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other worlds, and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure and danger. Each page turn reveals impossible truths about the world and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own. Lush and richly imagined, a tale of impossible journeys, unforgettable love, and the enduring power of stories awaits in Alix E. Harrow’s spellbinding debut–step inside and discover its magic.

如果不读这本书,不会觉得miss anything
是本可以一看的少儿文学,仅此而已。框架很有意思,二十世纪初,禁闭少女,文字的力量,跨世界旅行,权力和自由,秩序与混沌,像是所有我喜欢的故事的混剪。只可惜我已经跨过了相信童话故事的阶段了,因为这个世界的天平早已过分倾斜,真实世界里,权力智慧得足以让书中的大反派显得像是个一厢情愿的小孩子。此外,我也再度感受到了第一人称叙事的欺骗性,尤其是在文本的抒情大过自省时。这一点尤其需要警惕。
感觉之前可能对书的评价过高了,所以读的时候期待也过高了。书的前半段感觉太过平静,缓慢。真正比较有精彩的是将近结束的时候。完美的结局。 整体还行的。也很适合小孩子读。
女主前期就很烦
故事情节没啥值得说,就是儿童文学冒险fantasy,不过这个干巴巴的文笔基本可以告别fiction了
超级浪漫又可爱又epic的少女【与她凶猛的狗】的冒险故事呀!words having real power实在是太让人想要的能力。不要让这个世界变得沉闷紧紧有条,一起混乱善良吧!!
