If you have an adolescent or teenager who likes to read, this can be a great book for them! For adults, however, I think the writing style won't work.
I enjoyed the story of this book and the characters held my attention, but the writing was just too directed at children for my preferences. Still, I'm excited to see where the story goes from here...

I felt that KD wrote this book for either adults or young adults but it would have been better if it was targeted to children. The simplistic writing is good but the book was just written like a children's first chapter book.
There were some technical errors with punctuation and things. Also, I found some inconsistencies like "Loo" was referred to as "Lou" once or twice. Again, that is just a technical error.
It lacked details and character depth which is why I felt it should have been written for children.
Overall, the story is worth the read and I still liked it. I look forward to watching KD grow as an author and see how this series continues.

When Katie is kidnapped by a stranger, her husband jumps into the weird hole-in-the-wall portal to save her. However, his brief hesitation lands him in Mesilithia 50 years after his wife. She's grown wings and she's married to Lord Wicket. Even without this complication, how would they get home when she hasn't found a way in 40 nyias?
Delgado has built a pretty fascinating world filled with new creatures. There's the Zothan Clan who are human-like with wings. There's the Shendoot Clan who have dark green skin and live in the water. Then there are the Bandorges - giant wolfish beasts with purple skin and black fur, Wistons - who are shape shifters, and Seleens - small fairies. Then there are the Snites who eat your heart, absorb your soul, and are intent on taking over Mesilithia.
There's a lot to explore here - so much so that the story felt a little rushed. You're pulled from one scene to another - probably to be expected in a world at war - leaving little time for introspection, reflection, or exploration of the world for the sheer joy of it. Then again, I like long epics, so this might just be preference; this brevity is also due to her stated intention of not making it "a Large or Wordy book" so that it can be enjoyed by all ages. It's also written in present tense, which does counter the quick pace just a little.
Personally, I'd rate it at a 3-star (I liked it, but it didn't really capture me) though I think a younger/MG reader might put it at a 4.

This was a delightful story that I enjoyed. Diving into the world that K.D. Delgado has created is wonderful for all ages. I am giving this story 4 stars as it entices the imagination and allows you to follow easily.
Katie grew up with her parents whom the ‘angels’ gave her to. At least that is what her parents told her. Now she is married to David and has children of her own. Then one day it all goes crazy. She gets kidnapped through a portal but David is able to follow. Unfortunately time does not work the same way and a lot of time has passed that David does not realize. Just a day to him was a lifetime for her.
Gorath is the land that Katie and her current husband Lord Wicket preside over. David showed while they are in the midst of trying to save many of the different clans. Follow along with the adventure in the world that K.D. Delgado has created. I will be looking forward to the next story in this series. Thank you very much!!

Katie has a husband and two children, but her life is turned upside down when she is kidnapped and taken back to what is her actual birthplace. Mesilithia in this fantasy adventure that takes readers to another world. One full of adventure, danger and lots of fantasy, good read a bit like tales of Narnia or The Golden Compass. I have a feeling this series is only going to get better as the reader is taken on an amazing journey,.

Awesome read from New author
Pulled you into the story line. Left you wanting more at the end preparing for book two. The only two criticisms I would have is that it went too in depth into costumes of opposing clans. Why not just describe the races? The other being, although time time does not work the same in Misilithia, what's happening to their children on earth?
