This isn’t a profound book, but it’s a really fun book. For sixteen, Alex initially sounded a bit young but I very quickly got used to it and just began enjoying the story. Basically, Medora felt like a completely new world, yet obviously one that had started off similar to that of Freya (Earth) since there are humans (albeit humans with powers). It is like a combo of Narnia and Harry Potter, but with the world combining technological and medical advancements with more medieval activities and skills like equestrian and combat. This is a young adult book, I would say bordering on middle grade but with the main character at sixteen years old, I have a feeling the next ones will feel more solidly in the YA genre. This book caught me by surprise with how quickly I got hooked. I think I am really glad that I listened to this as an audiobook. At her new boarding school, Akarnae, and with her new friends Jordan and Bear (plus a mysterious stranger who she keeps bumping in to who promises only sinister things to come), Alex is met with a whole new life, new adventures and higher stakes. This brand new world is one full of new opportunities, and advancements in technology that her world doesn’t have. But, on her way to the administrations office of her new school for the next eight months, Alex walks through a door to Medora, a different world entirely. After her parents accept a job opportunity in another country and without cell reception, Alexandra Jennings is shipped off to a boarding school full of snotty, horrible teens.
