review 1: Time is running out for biologist and environmentalist Garrett Evergard; he must find a compelling reason to preserve the unspoiled Pacific Northwest rainforest from destruction. Fortunately, Garrett’s encounter with a spirit bear, as well as the witch Bryson Summers, leads to the salvation of both the rainforest and Garrett.To The Other Side is the first book in the Terra Book series. The plot is a heartwarming romance. The setting is beautifully detailed. Centuries ago, the discrimination against anyone different from society’s majority so prevalent on the Earth side caused a mass influx into non-prejudice Terra. However, the European social composition of the aristocratic and poor, along with power-hungry villains, still subsists in Terra. Terra is also inhibited by... more all manner of rare creatures with distinct personalities. The fascinating characters are persuasive. Bryson is the designated gatekeeper; his job is to maintain balance between Earth and the dimensional Terra. This is a key position because the destruction of one side of the planet could also destroy the other side. Bryson is an enormously compassionate witch who uses his magic to heal people, especially the poor. Bryson lives inside a tree that borders an enchanted valley where sacred animals are protected from those who seek to kill them. Garrett has the same love of nature as Bryson which makes Garrett and Bryson the perfect soul mates.S.J. Frost has created numerous intriguing components in this impressive saga that I found exceedingly enjoyable. The character descriptions, the amusing interaction between the characters, the strong bond of friendship, plus the good versus evil conflict are elements prominently illustrated in To The Other Side. Also, the book cover magnificently depicts the world of Terra.
review 2: I give this book a 4.5. SJ Frost is one of my favorite authors. The Conquest series is one of my favorites. This is more fantasy/witch/gnome/warlocks kind of book. It is VERY sweet. It has Frost's usual humor and there is an instant attraction between the main characters. For whatever reason, I felt that the last half of the book was much better than the first half, but my thought is that Frost was developing characters for future books. I did fall in love with all the characters by the end and did not put the book down until I finished. I am looking forward to the new series. I have missed new books from this author and am very excited about the prospects of this new series. less
