I rather enjoyed this book. Let's get the minor dislikes out of the way. When Alex stumbles from one doorway into a new land, I felt she was a bit slow to determine that this was something supernatural. It was also bizarre to me that (view spoiler)[ the first person she meets is the very enemy that has been seeking her out for hundreds/thousands of years. (hide spoiler)] One very minor pet peeve at the beginning: For a book that starts in Oregon, the author used the British spelling of the wordUpon starting this book I felt a little...lost. I honestly didn't think that this book was for me and I was thinking, "How am I going to get through all 400+ pages?". It started off with the main character, Alex, on her way to a new school. Then she's thrown into this new world and it all got kind of confusing for a little bit. It all happened so quickly that I expected the rest of the book to be like this but I was surprisingly (and happily) mistaken. Besides the original information overload
Read this for the book club at work and I ended up skim reading the last 100 pages because I just wasn't invested enough. If I was younger, I would have LOVED it, but there was a lot of telling instead of showing and so many things that were really similar to Harry Potter. I would definitely recommend this for younger teens! Great, funny characters and a cool idea!
READER BEWARE! I despise book series that are released once a year. They fall off your radar and they have no sense of continuity; you may remember parts of the story but you can't remember the author. When you have a 'to read' list that enters the hundreds why would you want to repeat yourself? If you're averse to this, I don't suggest you read it till all 5 books are out. I'm sure publishing houses and authors wonder why their books have less and less readers, so I can only guess they're
I met Lynette when I was in Australia and she is by far the sweetest person I've ever met! We were on panels together and signings at SupaNova con, which is Australia's comic con. Every time she talked about her book, I was intrigued. I finally had a chance to read it.This is a debut novel and the characters are really well drawn and likable. The main character, Alex is transported into another universe and she's stuck there at a boarding school called Akarnae until an expert in traveling

**Re-read 01/19**Reading this for a second time was such a fun experience. I was a little cynical the first time around because I'm wary of HP rip-offs, but there's so much sass in this series it's hard for me not to fall in love.Alex is such a fantastic protagonist. She falls into this world of magic and takes it all in her stride, going along with it, and copping crap from her new BFFs, Jordan and Bear, whenever she starts to take the magic stuff too seriously. This is a book that's not afraid
