Helpful Score: 9
Even before I finished reading this book, I ordered the next one. I hated this book to end, it was that good. I was completely caught up in the world created by the author. Not only did McDonald create an impressive setting for the book but also created not one or two great characters, but numerous interesting secondary characters.
Usually when an author bounces from character to character in a book, it annoys me and it disrupts the flow of the book. Quite the opposite was true in this book. I found myself intrigued with all the characters and I wanted to know more about them. The secondary character's POV is vital for the story and McDonald handles it with ease!
The main characters in this story are Solie and her battle sylph Heyyou. Battle sylphs are creatures that inhabit a separate dimension. In Solie's world, she is a young farm girl who lives a simple existence. In a Battle sylph's dimension, a young girl like Solie is a "queen". Queens are to be loved and worshipped and most of all treasured and respected. Battle sylphs, curious about the abundance of "queens" in Solie's world, often will be enticed (and tricked) into her world. Unfortunately, they are tricked into this world by men with malicious motives of controlling the battle sylphs.
Solie, running away from her father (who plans to marry her off to a man she does not like) ends up being the tool to trick a battle sylph over to Solie's world. Thankfully, for Solie and Heyyou, everything goes wrong. Solie ends up with her own battle sylph and that is when the adventure begins.
Solie and her battle sylph Heyyou are playful, witty and engaging. Solie, who starts innocent and naive, learns plenty about the world around her and about herself. Heyyou, who starts angry and bitter, learns about true innocence and joy. The friendships the pair form and the adventures and challenges they endure make for a memorable story.
I would not call this book a paranormal romance. While there is romance in the story, it is much more a fantasy book.
