Reviews

[Sandra Easter]

I'm not going to rate my own book. This is the first in a trilogy. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

[S.A. Gibson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting story about a teen whose ordinary life undergoes a dramatic change. This story has some elements that remind me of Twilight. But Renée is more assertive than Bella. We follow Renée's ordinary life as a senior in high school for several chapters. This is a good contrast to the events that unfold when she must confront a strange new world. This story contained a good explanation of why she can do well in the new world. Many fantasy stories are very mysterious about why a normal teen can handle encounters with a completely different reality. That issue is handled well with Renée. When I finished I had to immediately pick up the next book, to find how the cliffhanger is resolved. Give it a try, you might find a new fantasy author to follow

Did Not Finish

The main reason I didn't finish this book was because of the writing style—it felt very stiff, detached, and awkward. Everything was typed out in short, awkward sentences—even the dialogue! I think the dialogue is what really got me. All of the characters spoke as if they were freakin' robots. I do think that, from the sounds of the summary, the plot DOES have potential. The sentence fluency is just difficult to read, which is a shame. I had been looking forward to getting into this book, but I just can't bring myself to finish it.
