I was impressed with the details (not too many) and work that went into this urban fantasy book. The world building was top notch for sure.This book does start of a bit slow for me. I was actually confused as I thought for sure that there was some supernatural in it. It read like a normal non-fantasy book in the beginning. As I only read books that are paranormal/fantasy etc. I almost stopped reading, but went back and read the blurb, and made sure, so then I knew, I just had to keep going. I am glad I did. It was a bit long, but I did enjoy it. It is not a quick read at all. Takes time to get through this book, but enjoyable too.Kailey is a young, funny, lovable young women, who recently suffered an appalling physical attack. (something that kindof got to me, I am not fond of reading of that kind of stuff, but there is a personal reason for that) She is still depressed after that, which I can understand, its not something easy to come back from. Once she goes to dinner with her friend Amber the rollercoaster ride starts. She finds out about another world called Renhala were traveling to it is done with a single word. So she gets swept up into this fight for her life along with her cool dog Kioto, trying to save Renhala and its people, as well as herself.I was impressed with the many characters, though It was hard to keep track of them all, I still loved learning of each new one. Like I said, it's a long book.I think one of the things I liked the most, is how we get to see Kailey grow from a scared young girl to a warrior, that was nice to see after what had happened to her.Overall it is a brilliant piece of work for the first book in this journey. The details of the history and the world were amazing.I really think anyone who enjoys fantasy books at all will really like this one.I give it 5 out of 5 stars.I was provided a copy of this book for my honest review.Michelle @ Michelle's Paranormal Vault of Books (see my blog for a giveaway and excerpt too, link in my profile)
