Publisher's Summary
“What was this place? Was I crazy? Or was I crazy before, back in L.A.? Was my real life some sort of dream? Was this hell reality?”
Austin Lively is a struggling, disillusioned screenwriter whose life is suddenly changed forever when he opens a door and is unwittingly transported to a fantastical medieval realm. Austin finds himself wielding a bloody dagger while standing over a very beautiful and very dead woman. Bewildered and confused, he is seized by castle guards and thrown in a dungeon. Just when he begins to fear the worst he is suddenly transported back to reality in LA.
Did that really just happen? Has he gone insane? Was it all a dream? Did he have a brain tumor? Desperate for answers, he sets out to find them and discovers that the mystery can only be unlocked by a strange piece of fiction that holds the truth about the magical kingdom. But he isn’t the only person searching for the missing manuscript, and his rivals will stop at nothing to get it first. To complicate matters more, Austin soon discovers that he has no control over when he passes between worlds, and finds himself out of trust for even the simple things, like walking through doorways.
Stuck between dual realities - charged for a murder he doesn’t recall in one and running from a maniacal billionaire who’s determined to kill him in another - Austin’s monotonous life has become an epic adventure of magic, murder, and political intrigue in both the New Republic of Galiana and the streets of Los Angeles California.

it's a pretty good book
It's very well written although I'm not a big fan of the protagonist. I do love the main villain though! lol
I can't say it would rank in my favorite fantasy stories but it's a fantastic book. I especially love the horror and other dark scenes. Those were mesmerizing 😮

Best book of the two worlds genre that I've read
This book is so much more gripping than other books of the genre that I've read. It has mystery, action, romance, and the plot doesn't feel contrived. There's constant tension. The main character has a multifaceted personality, with multiple meaningful interpersonal connections in both worlds.
The narrator was wonderful, and felt like a really good match for the main character. His female voices were not his strongest, though.
I understood what was going on, with some idea of why it was happening. When I finally learned important missing information, it felt earned, instead of it feeling dumped on me. Until the very end, when the main character sorta info-dump explained what was happening. I wish that had remained more implied, since I'd come to those conclusions already.
Oh well. Still a great book, and I really enjoyed everything else about the ending of this one. I will be reading the next one. :-)

Easy to get hooked
Klavan has a mastery of hooking your attention and keeping you engaged. It was many times I sat and listened trying to find a place to actually leave the story that wasn't in excitement.
I downloaded book two immediately to keep the story going.

Intriguing but ultimately unfulfilling
Just like one if it’s main protagonists this book has many grand ideas (A lot of which probably whet over my head). It has a unique plot mechanic and somewhat interesting characters.
Ultimately though the narrative leaves a lot to be desired.
