Review

A young prince is is supposed to be killed by a hateful king, his brother. But instead, a family friend from the fairy tale world he lives in transports him to our world, where no-one believes in magic and he might be kept safe. Joshua as he is now called leaves behind so many thing but one is the fairy he has fallen in love with and is desperate to get back to at all costs. This is an interesting fantasy. Sometimes it is hard to keep track of the characters and where the story is headed but still a solid choice for older fantasy readers that like a bit of mystery to their read.

Overall Book Score: very good
