About this listen
An instant New York Times bestseller!
“For readers who have just finished Naomi Novik’s The Golden Enclaves and are ravenous for more dark academia” (Booklist), this “pulse-pounding” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) fantasy thriller follows six teenage wizards as they fight to make it home alive after a malfunctioning spell leaves them stranded in the wilderness.
Ren Monroe has spent four years proving she’s one of the best wizards in her generation. But top marks at Balmerick University will mean nothing if she fails to get recruited into one of the major houses. Enter Theo Brood. If being rich were a sin, he’d already be halfway to hell. After a failed and disastrous party trick, fate has the two of them crossing paths at the public waxway portal the day before holidays; Theo’s punishment is to travel home with the scholarship kids—which doesn’t sit well with any of them.
A fight breaks out. In the chaos, the portal spell malfunctions. All six students are snatched from the safety of the school’s campus and set down in the middle of nowhere. And one of them is dead on arrival.
If anyone can get them through the punishing wilderness with limited magical reserves it’s Ren. She’s been in survival mode her entire life. But no magic could prepare her for the tangled secrets the rest of the group is harboring, or for what’s following them through the dark woods…

Story
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success.

Every year since the Ashlords were gifted phoenix horses by their gods, they've raced them. First into battle, then on great hunts, and finally for the pure sport of seeing who rode the fastest. Centuries of blood and fire carved their competition into a more modern spectacle: The Races. Over the course of a multi-day event, elite riders from clashing cultures vie to be crowned champion. But the modern version of the sport requires more than good riding.

Mercenary Casia Greythorne cares about two things: completing whatever her latest job is and earning enough coin to buy the expensive medicine that's keeping her mentor alive. So when the king himself offers her a job, she can't resist the massive reward he offers - even if it means working with Captain Elander, the arrogant, mysterious right-hand to that king. Her partner may be infuriating, but at least their mission seems simple and quick enough: investigate the origins of the strange plague that's been ravaging their empire, help find a cure, and then call it a day.

Story
Effy Sayre has always believed in fairy tales. Haunted by visions of the Fairy King since childhood, she’s had no choice. Her tattered copy of Angharad—Emrys Myrddin’s epic about a mortal girl who falls in love with the Fairy King, then destroys him—is the only thing keeping her afloat. So when Myrddin’s family announces a contest to redesign the late author’s estate, Effy feels certain it’s her destiny. But musty, decrepit Hiraeth Manor is an impossible task, and its residents are far from welcoming.

Story
Nahri has never believed in magic. Certainly, she has power; on the streets of 18th-century Cairo, she’s a con woman of unsurpassed talent. But she knows better than anyone that the trades she uses to get by - palm readings, zars, and a mysterious gift for healing - are all tricks, both the means to the delightful end of swindling Ottoman nobles and a reliable way to survive. But when Nahri accidentally summons Dara, an equally sly, darkly mysterious djinn warrior, to her side during one of her cons, she’s forced to reconsider her beliefs.

Why
Ok so why is ren a complete monster. She is selfish, rude, conceited, she plays on other people’s emotions all just to make things worse by seeking revenge. What sent it home was when she admitted to messing up and killing all her friends. And why use Theo like that. bro was
Just trying to make amends and he actually showed he had emotions unlike the MAIN CHARACTER by confessing his love. But overall, good story! 😅

Excellently woven story with great world building!
A Door in the Dark is what I hope the beginning of a new series. I loved Ren who so tenaciously fights for survival after a portal malfunction leaves her stranded in the woods with 5 other classmates. This all happens the night after a party trick gone wrong has devastating consequences for a small tea shop in a poorer side of town well below the rich family’s home that exists high above it. Can Ren find her footing and help her classmates survive while trying to impress the sons of two noble houses that could change her future or will the unknown dangers in the woods take them on the dark to early graves. Will cunning and magic be enough or will the survival of the fittest have the last say.
I was riveted by the story and the twists and turns had me speechless. The revelations at the end had my head spinning because I was expecting something different. And now I eagerly hope there will be more to come in this story. It’s a fantastic read I highly recommend it!

Nonstop Action, Such a Unique Story
It’s hard to be unique and new in the realm of magical schools and quests, but Reintgen managed to do it. Such amazing world building, interesting characters, and once the action starts he doesn’t let up. This is the start of an amazing new series and I can’t wait for more. Excellent audio performance.

The summary is a little misleading
I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns of this delightful story. The only caution I will give is that this is not an enemies to friends surviving together like the summary suggests. it is a story that leans much more on the horror side of things. The author writes an amazing tale. it's just not quite the one I thought I was getting into and that lead to a little disappointment because of the expectations I went in with but do not feel deterred. I could not put it down. I would recommend this book with the highest praise, just with a slight ly different summary than was chosen. An issue with tone, I think.

Unpredictable overall with a little vengeance
I liked that the overall plot was unpredictable some of the small thing within were pretty predictable but the broad picture is decently unpredictable. Also a little vengeance from the little guy which is nice. Overall a good read.

Fantastic world building with a unique magic system
As the tag says the works building is great and it has an inventive magic system unfortunately that cannot salvage it. The main character is ruthless, selfish, and beyond unlikable. Throughout the story we watch her become more and more of a monster all while passing judgment on her companions. In the end the reader is left wanting in the worst way.

This obviously a book for young women. I was mislead into thinking this was going to be good.
During utmost danger protagonists sexualizes peer. Unrealistic prattle with an unnecessary need for childish banter.
