I'm anxious to know what happens to Gavin in the next book! In this story Gavin is thrown into another world and situation that he doesn't quite understand, changing him and his world completely. Not only does he feel torn between worlds, but he also is intrigued by how the two places are linked. I recommend this book for fantasy readers who love stories that take their minds to new places! Those who aren't into the fantasy genre would even enjoy this book, as I wasn't into the genre at first. The starts out in a real-life setting and follows Gavin's day-to-day life as a typical teenager before he's trapped in another place in the body of a centaur, unsure how to escape.
This book has layers of imagery, humor, plot twists and real-life problems that keep you engaged throughout the book. Markell Bateman has a creative mind, and his writing style paints the plot beautifully! The artistic way he describes scenery, characters' thoughts and feelings, situations and conflicts, etc. is the reason this book stands out from the rest! His voice is characteristic to the era of which he writes. The book not only appeals to young readers, but is engaging for adults as well. It takes talent to write something for younger readers in a way that adults will enjoy as well. And Markell has done it! The idea of harvestry, a power to gather energy to manipulate objects, is intriguing and the magical element in this book! WAY different from other fantasy books! You will love these characters and their stories that help build the main plot. This book has it all--action, humor, love, values, ideas that make you think, battles against good and evil!! I'm excited for the rest of the series to find out what happens with Gavin and the rest of his friends, and to learn more about this world beyond and its connection with earth! There's definitely "more than meets the eye"...
