Eriis, world of the demons, and Mistra, world of the humans, used to be connected by a door. But when that door was blasted shut by the humans, leaving desolation in Eriis, there are those who would give anything to get the door open again. When the Prince of Eriis, Rhuun, is found to be the potential key, he escapes to Mistra, finally getting a chance to see the humans he's always been curious about, a curiosity further heightened by the romance novel that was left behind in Eriis when the humans left. But the world of Mistra is like nothing Rhuun imagined and he has no idea if he'll ever get back to Eriis again.

This is an extremely slow moving story. Which, as it is posited as the start of an epic series, that may not necessarily be a bad thing. But the problem is it gets to the end and doesn't feel like enough of the story has been told. There is just so much lead up that when the book ends--even though there is a sequel in store--it feels like a bit of a letdown.

That said, there is some amazing world building here and the character development is something for which I give a great deal of credit. Despite the pacing and lack of action, it kept me to the end.… (altro)
