review 1: This is by far the best series, in any genre, that I have read in a very long time. And I've spent an almost embarrassing amount of time reading lately. Ginn Hale's creation is truly excellent. Granted I'm writing this after just finishing book seven so I haven't completed the series, but given the pacing so far I have high expectations for the last three installments.This world is complex and complete. The story unfurls gracefully and with smoothly interlocking narratives. Though the main characters are gay, this is just one aspect of the story, balanced among many others, including magic and time travel, bits of steampunk, and subtle commentary on religion and environmentalism. Her characters are flawed and interesting and consistent, as alive as the world they live in. ... moreThere were moments when I first began the series when I had difficulty remembering names and places and terminology. Please don't be put off by this. They become easier to remember as you go along.
review 2: 3.5 stars. The story is interesting, but for some reason I just didn't get attached to the protagonist. And the book is very short, 86 pages in ebook version, which I see is normal for this author as the next book has the same lenght. The only relevant thing that happens is the crossing between the two worlds and it feels like the author split the book in half to have two volumes. Not a bad book, but too short to spend money on it (and I have the feeling that the paperback version is full of blank pages). less
