True friends are not in dreams. They could be real; they must be real so the innocents be protected. This is a dynamic story from the very beginning, with dialogues that keep building the main characters’ characteristics and placing me in an eager position to read the next page. Such a good mixture of youth energy, worlds’ travel, the fascinating Wyldlings, interesting antagonists, assassin, murders, agony, friendship, commitment, caring drive, enchanting dialogues, and commitment to good cause.
I liked the characters’ thoughts written in italic font, which seemingly are referred to me, so I could sense their mind’s thinking and struggles, some of which are even amusing, thus keeping me being part of the occurring scenes. I wished to know more clearly about Tehara. I asked myself how different life is over there as compared to earth. Is it earth-like? The Wyldlings seem to be human-like. I guess that is why sequels exist and I should be patient.
Two parallel premises on earth and the other world, Tehara, were the out of space, Enoch, and the dreaming human Annabelle soon meet in the elusive Darkenwood Forest, forming this unique plotline. Well, I never thought of the possibility of having a ‘cosmic twin’ until reading this intriguing tale. What makes this tale realistic is that they actually share similar faith, and amazingly, similar holidays and customs as well. Furthermore, having minor characters named Gog and Magog surfaces a smile; just perfect. But seriously, I like Annabelle as a character who places our feet on the earth’s ground while our imagination kept floating by this fantasy.
There are plenty of good-feel dialogues such as this:
“Wow, Enoch! My mirror has turned into a wormhole. A real wormhole leading to my room. Through outer space. Just like the one in Stargate!” Enoch furrowed his brow and tipped his head to one side. “Worm… hole? Star… gate?” And then he raised his eyebrows. “Ah. You mean, the Void-Bridge.” “Void-Bridge?” Annabelle smiled slyly. “I suppose that’s as good a description as any I ever heard for an instantaneous portal transecting the spacetime continuum.”
What also makes this fast-paced YA book unique are the subplot narratives encapsulating the main story, such as the power of the inner drive. Practically, perfect for readers of any age. Overall, well-written escapism and positive moral lessons.

About the author
A Modern Narnia w/ Wylding and Incredible Creatures!
This book right here doesn't disappoint! My friend, A.R. Grimes, has something that made me feel like I was back in Narnia in a modern setting! This book especially reminded me so much of "The Magician's Nephew", considerably the portals, and I couldn't help but feel nostalgic yet witnessing something about new to unfold. The story, characters and settings were phenomenal with every page filled with endless possibilities for a reader, such as myself, to wonder. I especially loved Red and Toad as characters; they were my favorite. The only issue I might have had was the ending. It went too short and I felt it could have expanded a bit more. Otherwise this book is solid and I'm anxious to read the sequel once I get a chance. Very good book indeed to those who like fantasies such as "The Chronicles of Narnia"! This book was something else!

“Seek justice, show mercy, and walk humbly with Lord Yshua.” This is Enoch’s mantra that gets him through the terrible tragedies that have struck his world of Tehara.
Back on earth, Annabelle discovers a portal to escape the frozen tundra of Wisconsin in February.
Worlds collide and Enoch and Annabelle must work together to defeat the dangers in Tehara.
Congratulations to this wonderful author for finally publishing her series after building the world for nearly 20 years! Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
