Kindle Version (free via author for honest review)I must say that I found this book interesting, yet not all at the same time.  I think it may have just not been my type of book.  Ama is on her way to her friend Mel's house when her car breaks down and she seeks help at this old abandoned town.  When she finds someone there she is kept in the town and eventually is taken to another land where she is told she is a princess who was sent away to be saved, but now must come back to rule the land because her Mother is dying.  The people of the land distrust her because of her background and who her Father was, but they let her have a chance at leading their land per her Mother's request/ruling.  Mel, being worried about Ama, goes in search of her and eventually also ends up in the old town and also taken to the other land.  There he searches for Ama with the intent of taking her home with him and telling her how he really feels about her and has felt about her for many years, he loves her.  Mel is with the enemy of the people Ama is with and ruling though, so how can he possibly find her and be safe trying to find her?  Will it matter to Ama that Mel wants to be with her, or is it to late for that now?  How much can two people change along the way to finding each other again?  Will power change Ama?I felt there wasn't much action in this book.  It had some, but not the edge of your seat action, other stories have.  I must say that I liked this author's other book I read much better than this one.  I found it a bit slow moving and drawn out.  Also, there is only one line to the plot really, which is ok, but it just wasn't as developed as it could have been.  I did enjoy the characters and the "feel" of the book, as far as how the characters developed and what they were trying to accomplish.  I did like the battle that took place, I thought that was adventurous and full of action.  I also must say that the ending of the book left me with more questions than answers and was a bit frustrating for me.All in all, this was an ok read, but I wouldn't read it again or pick up any follow up book to this one.  However, I do like this author's work, as I said, in his other book I read, "The Other Slipper".3/5 Stars!
