Emlyn DuLaine just wants to know what happened to her sister, Camille, seven years ago on the fateful day she vanished—literally. Emlyn witnessed Camille unravel and disappear, but no one believes her. Since they think she's crazy, the least the cops could do is solve Camille's case. Is a little closure too much to ask?
But Emlyn's life is upended when she is pulled through a portal into the fantasyland of her childhood imaginings—a magical library holding the storyworlds of every story ever published. And trouble is brewing in the land of Rivenlea. Rogue characters threaten their plot lines, and broken classics are beginning to crumble, but Emlyn only wants to find Camille.
As she searches for her sister, Emlyn begins to learn the reality of Rivenlea and her own origins. A nefarious plot is afoot, and the line between fact and fiction is becoming hopelessly blurred. The truth threatens the storyworlds, Rivenlea, and Earth—the fabric of creation, itself.
My thoughts: This story was such a fun, unique one! I could only imagine what it would be like to grow up with seeing your sister disappear in a most unusual way and having no one believe in you. I loved the aspect of Emlyn coming face to face with the world, characters, and creatures that she had written about as a child. Rivenlea is an interesting world, where books come to life and each unique gift plays a part in keeping the stories flowing smoothly. I loved the nod to The Wizard of Oz, even though it is a classic that I didn't know as much about going in (other than having seen the movie). This is a wonderful story for all ages to pick up and enjoy!
I received a copy of this book from the author. This is my honest review.
