This book was just amazing!! It is not my normal genre but wow. The imagination and the world this author builds is just amazing. It reminded me of Alice In Wonderland at first. By the time I was done there was no comparison. This author built a world and story that is not compared to any other fantasy world. Her vision is just off the charts amazing, she is very talented. Madison is bullied and just wants to escape. She jumps into a garbage chute to hid and ends up in another world. But running away may not be the best thing to do. Here she has to deal with witches and knights. Can she get back home? Can she find a way to escape? You really do not want to miss this book. It is amazing and even when you finish reading you are already thinking about what will happen next!!! I highly recommend this book for all ages not just YA!!!
Once I started this, I couldn't put it down till I'd finished it! Wonderful read with magic, dragons, knights, a feisty MC, Madison, & even talking horses (Constantine would be in good company!). Loved this first book in an exciting, different & brilliant new series. Great characters that you have you routing for them & situations that have you holding your breath wondering just how they're going to get out of this one! Definitely has everything you need to make this an absorbing & entertaining read. Look forward to the next instalment of Madison's unusual, new & very different, life & world she accidentally finds herself transported to!
I absolutely adore this book! Madison is quite a character, and the story is quite good. I couldn't put it down! DC Gomez weaves stories that are great fun, exciting, full of unique characters, and hard to put down when reading! Check out her other books, you won't be disappointed!
This story was good. Madison was both young and an old soul. Bertrant was human and I liked their dynamic. So much happens in this story. I think young trans to young at heart would enjoy this story
This was a highly enjoyable read. It was so easy to fall into the world in this book. Madison is one of the most fun characters I have ever read. From start to finish this book exudes playfulness. I love it and can't wait till the next one!
This fantastical world created by DC Gomez was fun and full of adventure. I loved exploring the world of Somnium and following all the characters on their epic journeys. If you are looking for a fun, fresh take on some YA fantasy, this is the book you want!
Utterly fantastic. Madison is always bullied and just wants to get away from everyone. When she goes down a garbage chute, she finds a whole new world. Can’t wait for the next one.
