Yes, this book is very magical, bringing the reader to be transported to a whole new world of magic. There was a real balance of darkness and realm of fantasy with lightness and humor. Lewis brought the characters to life, as he penned the amazing story for these grand characters. Eddie, a police detective, is one of those characters who enters a new realm right in the middle of Central Park, as if he is the chosen one. I was entranced by this story, and it has a great sense of magic and fantasy while also being in the modern world. Couldn't put it down.

In a way this book made me think of a "Harry Potter for Adults". The way Arjay Lewis writes is captivating from the beginning and you just want to keep reading and reading and not stop. It is both descriptive and has great world building (important for a fantasy) but also is interesting and has a hint of mystery/suspense throughout so that you aren't bored (you can tell there's more to the story than we know). I was reading as fast as I could (especially toward the end), and even though it's a pretty long book, I was disappointed when it was over. I wanted more!! But the ending is amazing as is the rest of the book and totally throws you for a twist.
