I stopped and started back up so many times. Not due to the fault of the book, but more due to it being summer and I never had more than a pages worth of time to read.

I liked this. Part SFF, part detective. I loved the premise of alternate worlds. And who doesn't love a Woman who can hold her own in a world of heavy dresses and boots. Kicking butt and leaving dust in her wake.

We do catch glympse a of Irene's softer side as well. Making her a well rounded, believable character.

I can't wait for the next in the series to see how Irene and Kai handle living in the alternate.

Favorite line--" She was a Librarian, and the deepest, most fundamental part of her life. Involved a love of books. Right now, she wanted nothing more than to shut the rest of the world out and have nothing to worry about except the next page of whatever she was reading."
