review 1: The author also wrote the Fablehaven series, and I've enjoyed his work in the past. The plot includes quite a bit of adventure and enough action to keep most readers interested; there's a little bit of a lull about two-thirds of the way into the book. There's also an element of mystery surrounding Mira, and Cole has been told there's no way to get back to his real world. Cole's character shows a great compassion for others, and his bravery is realistic. There's no sense in doing something heroic for no good reason.
review 2: 3.5 stars. An uncomfortable beginning with a mass kidnapping, I'm left uneasy through the rest of the book wondering if it will ever actually be resolved. And then I realize it's a five-book series, and as more time goes by, a resolution se... moreems more unlikely. It made me unable to completely enjoy the rest of the plot, which is too bad, since the rest of the story line and the fantasy world are fascinating, as Mull's normally are. He's created a world completely different from his previous fantasies, and apparently each of the five kingdoms in this world is unique in its magical abilities. I'm interested to see what those abilities all are. This is a young, male protagonist, off to save the world, similar to his other books. Interesting read. less
