Review: Excellent fantasy series!
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is reminiscent of Feist's "Faerie Tale", but not as dark. I had some qualms with the girl-needing-hero premise, but since she is also a strong character -- and the author made sure to make all the female characters strong and to make comments about the one sexist character -- the end result isn't offensive/sexist. She doesn't need to be rescued, she just needs a partner. The premise is a clever twist on how people could potentially end up in the faerie realm, particularly in a future world where everything wild is paved over. I recommend the entire series for fans of fantasy.
