Loved going back and forth between the two parallel universes and seeing how the story was unfolding. What a brilliant way to weave a tale! The whole concept of reading bones to see the past, present, or future in visions is fascinating. I really hope there's more to come in this universe. I'm not ready to let go of these characters yet....more

There are worlds tethered together and just when I've got one sort of figured out, another one is added into the mix with totally new creatures and I think it's so creative and interesting. If you're looking for alien then this is alien times two!...more

The heroine is amazing and I wish I could fight alongside her or see her in action. She's super cool. The spells and the magic are really well imagined.
