reviews for the portal
“Ms. Dow is one of the very best indie YA writers working in the field today. Her writing is brilliant and yet accessible, and her descriptions of the fights that happen between Marston and his friends and their enemies, the Rogue Elites, are phenomenal.”
~ L.M. Ransom, Author of The Traitor Wars Series
“The Portal is my favorite book in this trilogy! Great, clean book for teens and adults without sacrificing content. Great plot twists and kept me reading!”
~ Elizabeth, Author of the Maripi Moon Series
I love that these books are available for my three young boys to read and get excited about. That they have a role model in Marston in understanding we all can have overwhelming, unhappy thoughts, but they don’t have to control us. We can look without at our family and friends, and inside at our own strengths and love, and be able to make it through to the other side.
