Damn! The only reason I put this book down was to sleep. A fast-paced, action-packed ride through worlds riddled with hurdles for the MC, Ayleen Torr. A sword-wielding Knight that has to right a wrong of galactic proportions. This book reminds me of Stephen King's The Dark Towers series and Brandon Mull's The Beyonders.
