REVIEWS & AWARDS
"A fast-paced YA novel that transports readers to a world filled with magic and peril... The third-person narration gives readers glimpses inside the heads of all three girls, each of whom has a distinctive personality and a unique approach to solving problems." Kirkus Reviews "You soon become intertwined in a journey of imagination that will lock you in ... Her character development is top-notch ... Her ability to move the story along at just the right pace is excellent, and she gives enough in this first book to leave you with, 'I just have to know what's next.'" — Shirley Johnson/Senior Reviewer, MidWest Book Review "The book's pace is fast and furious. Duffie excels at describing new areas of the Monster Realm and with just a few sentences, she captures the sights, smells and feel of these unique places. It almost feels like someone is excitedly telling you about their intricate, wild dream." — Portland Book Review "I loved this book! The adventure leads to a chimera, wood elves, a roc, carnivorous flowers, a griffin, and so much more! A good book for kids who like monsters and mythology." — San Francisco Book Review
"I cannot even begin to express how impressed I was with this book… This book will really appeal to fans of Harry Potter and Percy Jackson... a wonderful book for both young adult and adult readers. Do not let the author's young age deter you; this is better writing than I have seen from many seasoned, adult authors." — Tiffany A. Harkleroad, Tiffany’s Bookshelf and Amazon VINE Reviewer
“...full of mythology and exciting adventures, worthy of recommendation for younger readers… (the author) has a vivid imagination, good sense of humor, her storytelling is engaging while her plot flows nicely.” — Denis Vukosav, Amazon Top 100 Reviewer "This is a non-stop adventure story that is a feast for the imagination… There are layers to the story, and some pretty sophisticated insights into human behavior that show a true talent for writing complex and memorable characters. I lost track of the fact that I was reading a book by such a young writer and ended up just enjoying the story.” — Robin Landry, Amazon Top 500 & Vine Voice Reviewer "I can't wait for the next books to be published. Nara's human characters are well-developed and likable; her storytelling is engaging; she shows an enviable knowledge of Greek mythological creatures; and the plot flows nicely, leaving the reader wanting more.” — David Zampino, Amazon Vine Voice Reviewer "There isn’t a dull moment to be had in this book. There are elves, dragons, dryads, griffins and any other mythical creature you can imagine in this world that Nara Duffie has created. This young author started out with Monster Realm, which I read and enjoyed very much, but this sequel shows how much she has grown as a writer. The story is paced well and the characters are further developed. They are as saucy, sometimes silly and thoughtful as we remember them. Each girl has her own personal strength and each compliments the other and they are truly best friends. Their shared dialogue is well done and really adds much humor to the story. Their personal interactions are my favorite aspect of this story, along with the wonderful descriptive details about the world of Lanodeka. It was so easy to picture it all right there in front of me." — MammaMia, Amazon Vine Voice Reviewer "I read the book then left on a business trip this week. My 10-yr old daughter took it off my nightstand while I was gone and is nearly done reading it by the time I came back.” — Erik 1988, Amazon Top 500 Reviewer and VINE Voice Reviewer "After reading this with my ten year old daughter, I was blown away that this author was only ten when she wrote this book. She inspired my daughter to continue to write also… I loved all the characters. They each had their own personality... The author takes them on quite an adventure… If you like reading Harry Potter books, then you will definitely like this.” — New Age Mama, Amazon Top 500 Reviewer * The Monster Realm has hit #1 in the Kindle free eBook store in both the Fairy Tales, Folk Tales & Myths / Greek & Roman category and the Fantasy & Magic / Sword & Sorcery category. It held the #2 spot in Children's Books overall for a week.
