Description
Experience the dazzling brilliance of a world like ours — yet infinitely bolder and brighter: a place of kings and warriors, bards and battles, feats of glory and honour. It is a place you will forever wish to be. It is Albion.
"When I opened my eyes, I was no longer in the world I knew."
Lewis Gillies is an American graduate student in Oxford who should be getting on with his life. Yet for some reason, he finds himself speeding north with his roommate Simon on a lark — half-heartedly searching for a long-extinct creature allegedly spotted in a misty glen in Scotland. Expecting little more than a weekend diversion, Lewis accidently crosses through a mystical gateway where two worlds meet: into the time-between-times, as the ancient Celts called it. And into the heart of a collision between good and evil that's been raging since long before Lewis was born.

An instant favourite
While this is my third time reading through the series, I never cease to be instantly wrapped up in the wondrous world that Stephen Lawhead seems to build with each detailed paragraph. I will certainly be jumping into book two right away.
The only reason I gave four stars for performances was that there was pretty consistent background noise with other people chatting. It wasn’t always obvious but with my headphones it was noticeable. That being said it was still worth it, and I love this series.

Won't read the rest of the series
This had an interesting premise but didn't deliver.
The main character begins as the most irritating fellow--he is constantly arguing, full of negativity--you want to smack him. Despite his working on hit PhD at Oxford he doesn't seem very smart, nor knowledgeable about his field. That, and the stilted writing/dialogue is too much. Halfway through the book he has a personality transplant. It's not development, he just becomes a completely different character (not to spoil anything, but a whiny, argumentative fellow like him would NEVER get through the type of training he embarks on in the book--he'd be too busy arguing with and being smacked by his instructors.
The other character, Simon, undergoes a similar character shift, going from being likeable enough, to evil. It just doesn't make sense.
The writing is SO over the top. I'm not sure if the narration makes it worse, or if the narrator couldn't help but sound pretentious given the writing.
I'm not sure why this is rated so high.
