Overall score:

I scored this book 4/5

Short Summary of the book:

What would you do if you found yourself the victim of bullies at school? How would you then respond if you found a handsome stranger in your safe spot? Sage finds exactly that prior to being shot. When she wakes up she finds herself in a parallel world and much stronger than before. This is where the adventure start and the once shy girl becomes a hero of sorts.

What I liked about the book:

I loved the way Sage overcame the trauma of being bullied. From a shy girl, she turns into a confident young woman.

What I didn’t like about the book:

There wasn’t anything I did not like about the book.

My favourite bits in the book:

Where Sage gets the better of the bullies without turning into a bully herself and without being nasty.

My least favourite bits in the book:

The book in its entirety was good.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

I’m not aware of any further books in this series although room was left open for this.

What books could this be compared to and why?

It reminded me of another book I had read about parallel worlds, the title and author escape me at the moment, however, in this book Sage turns into a hero and the other book I read had a different lookout.

Recommendation:


Children
No
Young Adult
Yes
Adult
Yes

If you like Fantasy and Science Fiction this book may be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.
