I love portal fantasies! Brady Hunsaker gives a cool twist to the genre, from the portal system itself to the technology of the other world, which elevates it to more than your standard medieval setting.

Ven’s maturity was refreshing to see in a YA protagonist, and it contrasted nicely with Mia’s naivety. With a well-paced plot of a secretive facility vs their murderous escaped experiments, this is a great, easy read.

For fans who love portal fantasies, superpowers, mystery, and illegal magical technology.

4/5 would recommend
