To Save Two Worlds: (is twice as much fun) (Worlds Akilter Book 1) Kindle Edition

by A. J. Bakke (Author) Format: Kindle Edition

One of those annoying ‘wars of centuries past’ has put Earth in danger of being crushed by a much larger world, Deart. A magical barrier was created to keep the planets from colliding. That barrier is now weakening, its power source dying.
A new power source must be found before it’s too late!
Fate, Destiny, or perhaps merely happenstance choose Kale, a resident of Deart, to fix the problem. About six inches in height, he is far too small for the huge task forced upon him. Surviving the foreign world, Earth, has many complications such as the giant feet of towering humans. If the soul devouring parrot doesn’t kill him, a mage who can't control her powers, might.
Perhaps with the help of a few unexpected allies, he can make it from one world to the other and back again, alive.
And what do cats have to do with anything?
Everything.

I had read part of this book on Authonomy, so when I learned (via a Facebook post) that it had been published, I took a look to make sure that was the book I remembered. It was, and of course I had to have it.

What a delicious collection of flawed heroes.

There's Kale, a little person (about the size of a squirrel) with big problems. On the plus side, he can sense the presence of other life forms, which makes him a valuable asset on hunting and gathering expeditions. On the other hand, his anxiety disorder and the ritualistic compulsions that keep it at bay, make his life complicated at best. And that's even before he's possessed by sparkles (fairies), who need him to do something, but aren't able to explain the details. Poor little guy. And then there's Ti, rather self-absorbed and given to fits of anger and self-pity, especially after she finds herself shanghaied as part of Kale's sparkle-driven quest.

In the Other World we have Nathaniel, left to guard the gate and help those who come through. He's more than a little disappointed at his available selection of allies, and tends to be negative and argumentative. Nathanel's friend, Bree, has magical talents coupled with a short attention span, which leads to some interesting situations.

The humans: Amiah is a sugar-swilling overweight nanny who spends her days off LARPing and longs for a little real magic in her life. It helps that she's clever, brave, persistent, and has a heart of gold. Last, but not least, are the crazy cat ladies--one good, one evil, and both absolutely bonkers. Plus a cast of assorted supporting roles.

Oh, yes, mustn't forget the nasty shadow creature that takes over a parrot's body--that one's pure evil.

This is an exciting adventure with lots of humor ranging from subtle to slapstick and all variations in between. As the title says, twice the fun. Dare we hope for a sequel?

This book is a very fun romp in a fantasy world that feels both familiar and different enough to be quite engaging. I was looking for some light reading before bedtime, and while this story had some classic trauma elements found in fairy tales (such as a Big Bad and childhood neglect) it dealt with those issues in a way that wasn't heavy handed or overwhelming at all. The author has a wicked sense of humor, and some of the writing really left me giggling to myself. I am very interested in what happens to these characters later, and I hope to read more!

I received a copy of this book as a winner of a drawing and after reading it purchased the Kindle version for my granddaughter. My heart went out to little Kale who struggled so hard with his obsessive-compulsive disorder as he embarked on the journey to save the planet Deart from falling into Earth and crushing it. The flawed characters added humor, but in a way which caused this reader to feel a strong sense of empathy for the bumbling, yet usually effective, struggles of several of the characters.

The book has sparkles (fairies) and mages to add both magic and hope as Kale unwittingly pulls the beautiful young Ti into an adventure she never signed on for. I enjoyed seeing myself as one of the dangerous and unpredictable humans these little people had to deal with in their quest to save both Deart and Earth from an evil force with the goal of destroying both worlds. How in the world can a creature only six inches tall find a way to face such a huge threat to the unknown country of America on the planet Earth?

This is a story of courage and undeniable faith that will keep you engaged with the diverse characters from beginning to end. (It will also prevent you from stopping at a junkyard after dark!)

I almost put this book down, but the humor throughout kept me going. As the story progressed it was so worth continuing. Loved the interactions of the little people and the humans.

This book is awesome. I've been reading it while waiting at the doctor's office for my brother's PT. Definitely takes my mind off where I am as I submerge myself into the world of the book and characters.

A great story which can be enjoyed by both novice readers and long time fans of the written word. The characters are well thought out and their personalities will entrap, annoy, and make you love them! The story is engaging and quickly wraps you up, a must for those who love exploring the hidden worlds that exist in the shadows of our everyday lives.
