I came straight out of reading the James Potter fan-fiction series and into this book. I found an amazing vocabulary of names and places, combined with detailed descriptions which make a great start to this fantasy series.
The main characters in the book are Jake and his best friend Ben who end up being transported to another world and drawn into that world's power struggle. The relationship between the two friends reminded me a bit of the Sam & Frodo friendship from Lord of the Rings, yet Jake has a love interest with Princess Zephany, the rightful King's daughter.
The book ends unexpectedly leaving you in a place where you need to be able to move onto the next installment of the series! I would have liked to have seen a map of some sort for the other world, but it may exist in another version of the book as I was reading in PDF format.
Looking forward to next book (which I already have waiting for me to read) and I can't wait to see where the story takes the characters.
