Tom Holt/K.J. Parker seems to be at the advanced level of snark. If you love his books, I'm happy for you. But you should move along. I'm not kidding. Professor Van Spee is an old man with white hair around his ears and a white goatee. He is a professor of witchcraft and works with spacetime. Having read Holt's historical novels (highly recommended to any fan of the genre) I decided to have a go through his more prolific fantasy pen and I have not come away disappointed. The only flaw in this opener was the character of Sophie but as she's gone in the next I'm cheerfully reading that at some pace. Although this book parodies many things, including, and most notably, Gilbert and Sullivan, you do not need much knowledge, if any of these things for it to still be a book that is enjoyable to read.Paul had believed in the existence of six a.m. for many years, just as he'd always believed in the yeti and the Loch Ness monster; in the same way, he'd always devoutly hoped that he'd never have to confront any of them face to face. But, somehow or other, he made it to the office door on time, to find Sophie already waiting. She was wearing a suit that had probably belonged to her grandmother, who had kept it for funerals." The most noticeable annoyance was the discrepancy between the apparent age / era of the main 2 characters (19 or 20 it seems, in early 2000s), and the language they use. They are about the same age that I was at that time, but they speak as if their age is somewhere between my dad and my grandfather. Also joining the cast isMiranda Otto( Lord of the Rings, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina),Chris Pang( Crazy Rich Asians, Charlie’s Angels),Jessica De Gouw( Gretel & Hansel, Pennyworth),Rachel House( Soul, Thor: Ragnarok),Arka Das( Mulan, Lion),Damon Herriman( Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood, Mr. Inbetween) and newcomerSophieWilde ( Eden, You Don’t Know Me).

The side characters are okay, but even most of them are rather shallow. The only one who I empathized with is Paul's boss who flat out tell him, 'Hello! I thought you'd be happy knowing that you are about to become a magician. Everyone else in the world would sacrifice a limb to be a magic user!' Which is exactly how I feel whenever an idiot in books or film says, I never wanted to be a magician, it scares me. Well boo hoo hoo. I don't wanna read a story about you you miserable welp. Quietly, Paul blessed the thin girl's parents for their attitude; because if she threw in her job, that'd be that, he'd probably never see her again. Mysterious swords and things with claws didn't exactly appeal to him as integral parts of the working environment, but he was damned if he was going to let them come between him and a girl who'd actually smiled at him, twice." JW is not evil like his nephew, but he is concerned about the bottom line. The Bank of the Dead gives him a good price point, so they are his banker. It is based on an old Chinese custom. To make a deposit, you put a deposit slip on your cash, and burn it. So what is The Portable Door? Well, you'll have to read a fair bit of this novel before you discover that, encountering mishaps and madness, madcap mayhem and wonderful weirdness along the way. Expect the unexpected. Expect craziness and confusion. You can't be any more muddled than the hero of this book, Paul Carpenter. Tom Holt is a prolific author. The Portable Door, published in 2003, was about his 35th novel. By his third novel "Expecting Someone Taller", Tom Holt had already established his trademark style of comic fantasy - juxtaposing the mundane with the fantastic - and his novels became increasingly popular. He has also written a few serious historical novels under the name "Thomas Holt".The Portable Door – In Cinemas March 23". Madman Entertainment. Archived from the original on 18 March 2023 .

What if it is an elaborate front for something far more sinister?’ The JWWElls letterhead lists the partners: JWWells is the founder and is still on the books. They know he isn’t dead, but he hasn’t been seen for 130 years. He is a Master of Arcane Arts. After dealing with the ever persistent and seductive Mrs Tanner (goblin by night, voluptuous receptionist by day) he and Sophie end up foiling a century long office politics plot with the use of a somewhat more-than-meets-the-eye stapler and an irreversible love potion. The Contessa Judith di Castel’Bianco is Queen of the Fey, which is a kind of fairy. She is in charge of the Entertainment Division.
