"The appearance of familiar fairy tale personalities as the characters that populate Storyworld is a charming notion, and half the fun of reading the novel is eagerly guessing which fable will crop up next. The narrative is largely fast-paced, and the discovery of the next familiar folktale or harrowing adventure is never far away." - Self-PublishingReview, three and a half stars

"It's a good book that uses familiar tropes and characters, but reinvents them to explore new territory. This isn't just an example of good writing, it's bloody rare!" - A Place to Hang Your Cape

"Within Dodger's Doorway are battles, betrayals, a host of unlikely comrades, and an unforgettable coming of age story. It's most highly recommended."
