Emma Eden Ramos manages to transport her readers into another realm without losing them. The character of Kat is lost though and through her eyes we face challenges, confront grief, guilt, and discover love, loyalty and family values. The support characters are crafted with delightful skill.From the outset Ramos' storytelling gives life to Mikey, Rosario, Miss A, Apate and Virgil,the Tallyman, a cave lion who feeds off fear and gloom vapour.Kathleen's adventures take her through danger where she learns more about herself and her friends, what family ties mean, how valuable friendship is and what is really important in the journey through life (and death).For an engaging read, a fast paced adventure that fulfills expectation, invokes contemplation and is thoroughly enjoyable The Realm of the Lost is better than good. Recommended reading from an emerging author with talent to burn.
