"Drake's world building is intriguing: powerful battle globes (Arik wields a fire globe; He can manipulate the fire into a thin whip"), new races of fairy creatures who work in tandem with Sentinels and wizards, and--best of all--portals in libraries, which many readers will eagerly believe are mystical places." - Kirkus Reviews
