I'm glad i didn't pay anything for this, the Kindle edition being free, as free is all it's worth.

I was expecting a lot more about Jennet's history prior to Feyland #1, which is what this book is supposed to be about. But all it does is gloss over a few things that are already covered in the next 3 books and then when Jennet has her first encounter with the Dark Queen it's exactly the same, word for word, as the second encounter in Feyland #1. And the bit after that encounter of how she is freed from the Dark Queen by the game's designer isn't covered in any depth whatsoever.

I really can't see the point in Anthea publishing this at all. Total waste of bandwidth and computer memory. ( )

An interesting prequel. I enjoyed the main character. Would read the rest of the series if I ran across them, but wouldn't seek them out. ( )

When Jennet Carter decides to hack into her father's sim-game (Feyland) she has no idea that she would actually be opening a gateway to the Realm of Faerie. Moving through each level, encountering its levels and completing its quests becomes ever more treacherous as the final battle approaches. As Jennet faces off against the Dark Queen of Fearie, she begins to realize that there may be more at stake than the outcome of a game.

The author, Anthea Sharp, does an extraordinary job making high-tech gaming and magic collide as the story begins to unfold. The characters are well written and the relationship, between Jennet and her father, is believable.

I enjoyed this brief introduction and look forward to reading the rest of the series. ( )
