There Are Doors is the story of a man who falls in love with a goddess from an alternate universe. She flees him, but he pursues her through doorways-interdimensional gateways-to the other place, determined to sacrifice his life, if necessary, for her love. For in her world, to be her mate . . . is to die.

Review of 'There Are Doors' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

What a hallucination this was! At first romantic, then merely sad (I generally disapprove of chasing people who don't wish to be chased). It just beings to come 'round to a whelming sort of wistfulness at the end, at which point he seems to have got tired of writing. Disappointing. Pity there's no sequel (yet); it might make a passable lead-in to one.

Could do with re-reading to disentangle the multiple names of each character. Perhaps most annoyingly, it took a while to figure out that any ambiguous male pronoun belonged to the protagonist, who also has several aliases. Sigh.
