I was pleasantly captivated in B. R. Maul’s tale of Portals, Passages, & Pathways (In the Land of Magnanthia) in which two teenagers cross into the magical land. One, the nerdy kid who’s in the school choir has, without his knowledge, been groomed to bear one of the guardian rings of affinity Simon was supposed to trained for two years, but a cracked portal meant things had to be moved up and so he was rushed through an underwater portal to avoid the evil enemy and has to come to term with well-meaning advisors who wish him wel, and home-sickness. Jak, a rich bratty kid taught by tutors and ignored by his family, is kidnaped into the same world and has to survive a dangerous maze. Only one of the seven entering the maze will survive to be given magic. In spite of being generic, and a bit awkward in spots, I found the tale fun. Review Printed in the Philadelphia Weekly Press
