Synopsis

“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, 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.

Wow. No offense to the author, but I was unsure how much I'd actually like this book. I could not really get into the podcast (the original way this story was released), but I tend to like to read books rather than listen to them, especially when they're dramatized. I have sufficient scope of imagina......more

Goodreads review by KATHERINE on March 22, 2019

This book is what I would call the Fiction-book companion to Jordan Petersons 12 rules for life. Its a call for men and women to accept the challenge of fighting evil, to live a noble and worthwhile life, and to recognize the forces for malevolence that we're faced with when we seek to do good. It's......more

I can't put my finger on it...this is generally the sort if tale I love...but there was just something about this book that rubbed me the wrong way. :/ It felt very preachy in an almost religious way without coming out and saying it.......more

Alright, alright, I'm coming back to review, because I can't stop thinking about it and I need to rant. 😝 Things I liked: ~ The unique character voice! I usually do not like those sarcastic/dry character voices, because they can often come off as aloof, cliché, and annoying. But Austin's voice is bala......more

Goodreads review by Josh on June 25, 2019

I enjoyed the premise of jumping between LA and the fantasy world of Galiana, but every time an interaction was described with a woman, I found myself wondering if it was written by someone who has never actually talked with a woman. They are such OBJECTS rather than people in the story. I honestly h......more
