This is Book One of Tara’s Necklace series and is a New Adult Portal Fantasy book set in a desert world of fading magic, a library with crumbling texts and lost knowledge, and lush grasslands in a world of shadow creatures. If I am being honest, I had a hard time getting into this book in the beginning. I personally had a hard time following the information being given and while reading would often forget what was just said especially in the first part of the book. That being said, once I made it further through the book I started to like where the story was going because there was a lot more happening plot wise. I also enjoyed the scenes between Kith and Kumiel the most. I did like the main character and loved what she represented. You do not typically see chronic illness representation in a character, much less the lead in the story. Dealing with autoimmune disorders myself, I can understand how she feels.
