The Key begins in our world following 17-year-old Anna Kippling one week after the death of her grandmother. As she and her mother pack away her grandmother's belongings, Anna finds a peculiar key and, after searching the whole house,  discovers that it opens a door to a world called Tatania. Anna soon learns that her arrival was expected in Tatania and that the Chancellor wants her dead.I found Anna to be a believable character. She is slightly unsure of herself and has a bit of an attitude, but is smart and sassy. Thrust in an uncertain situation with a lot on her shoulders, she acts how I would expect her to. She's not perfect, yet still a strong character, and I found that refreshing. I would have liked the pace to be a tad slower when she arrives in Tatania, if only to have more time to watch her relationships develop more with the other characters.There are a few typographical errors and a couple of homophone mix-ups (vial instead of vile, for example), but nothing major.The Key drew me in immediately and kept me there until the end with a good storyline and characters I care about.*Review abridged from my book review blog*
