This was a fast and entertaining read. The author does a really good job of fleshing out the characters and you really get to feel like you know the characters. Finn and his friend, Audie, accidentally get thrown into another dimension. A dimension with ogres and elves and dwarves. An evil ogre captures Finn’s friend and he has to try to rescue her. My favorite characters had to be the hobgoblins, Oopa in particular. I kept picturing Dobby (I know, he was an elf not a hobgoblin) from Harry Potter. The story ends, no cliffhanger, but there is a lot of potential for the series. A clean, well-written, fantasy adventure story.

This is a wonderful YA that pulled in my kids and kept them wanting to read more! Though there is nothing young about this adult (me) I still loved the story and although I did get annoyed with the characters, especially Finn, they are very believable and likable. Great read.

I recommend this book!
If your looking for a good YA, Trevor Darby has the formula. Once again, he has brought us a witty page turner with wonderful characters like my man Finneas and his gal pal Audie. that will capture and hold young readers from the first page to the last.

Finneas Grey is a young teen who has always been considered a nerd in school and bullied throughout, so now that he was going into a new school he was going to do his best to appear cool. The only friend he had was Audie, she always stuck by him no matter what, so when he made fun of her to appear cool she was very hurt and he did not look cool at all. He put his name down to take part in the science fair but the date of the fair coincided with that of the sorcery tournament and he had promised Audie he would be her partner in this, but sorcery was not considered cool either so he decided to dump Audie and take part in the fair. They met in Dr Nech’s lab before their lesson and Audie started looking for the name sheet to strike his name off, when by accident they found themselves in a cupboard and suddenly through a door which landed them in another plane completely. They landed in a strange land with the Vial of Nech in Finn’s hands and the adventures started immediately. Though Finn had no idea what he held in his hand everyone else seemed to recognise this for the sought after artifact that it was. Finn like the coward he was ran when Audie was captured, then he was rude to those trying to help him because of his prejudice and fear and all his bad traits were revealed bit by bit, but he also grew through the experiences he was forced to undergo. This is a great book about friendship, courage to face’s one’s own fears and loss and to appreciate what one has in life. It is a story about growing up, about how experiences shape us to become who we are meant to be. A book about loyalty and love and standing one’s ground no matter what. I loved this fantastic adventure which was almost like a LitRPg novel with all it’s quests and monsters. Our young heroes faced evil bandits, a tyrannical ogre, dwarves, elves, ceurodians and a lovely hobgoblin called Oopa and though this might seems like a book for a youngish audience it can be enjoyed by all ages. I look forward to joining Finneas and Audie on more adventures in the next book.
Well done Trevor
