My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Expecting a snowboarding trip in Portugal, Dawson is instead dragged through a dimensional rift into the monster-filled world of Terrafeara, where he accidentally bonds with an alien prince named Aelith after the warrior shares his life force to save him. Now, Dawson has to navigate a perilous realm where Aelith is a walking political disaster, an ongoing rebellion threatens the Queen, and secrets about the rifts begin to surface. With the fate of every world connected to the rifts hanging in the balance, Dawson and Aelith must survive the impending chaos or lose everything.
I absolutely loved this story! Dawson is an absolute highlight—he's hilarious, sassy, and simply never knows when to shut his mouth. His compulsive need to try and defuse every tense situation was so entertaining, even when it was clearly a really terrible choice! I really loved his bond with Aelith and the way it was something totally new and unexpected to both of them. While Aelith is generally careful, controlled, and proper, they are a textbook example of a wonderful opposites-attract pairing, and together they are just perfect. It was so rewarding to watch Dawson slowly chip away at Aelith's rigid shell, making him less uptight as his face would often betray a little hint of humor at Dawson's endless verbal ramblings. The story has plenty of emotions and feelings throughout, and I especially loved the high-stakes events at the end involving Aelith's siblings and parents, even if it did generate a massive amount of danger and drama. A fantastic, thoroughly entertaining read. This was an MM story with mature content.
