Veronica and Mackenna are best friends, and have been since
childhood. Veronica’s family life has become miserable, and Mackenna has recently
inherited a cottage in Scotland from her aunt. The summer after high school,
the two of them decide to take a trip to Scotland together before embarking on
college and careers. However, upon arriving at the cottage, the girls find more
adventure than they bargained for in the form of a strange and isolated kingdom
called Doon.
Doon is the first of a new series, and as a fan of fantasy
novels I must say I quite enjoyed it. Once I got into the book I couldn’t put
it down, and stayed up way past bedtime to finish reading it! When I got more
than halfway through the book, I realized the author’s use of allegory to
present Christian themes through fantasy, and began to enjoy the book even
more! The target audience is teens or young adults, but I thoroughly
enjoyed it and can’t wait for a sequel! The story was full of suspense and built up
romance, and although there were a few parts that almost seemed predictable,
the story line was entertaining. I would recommend this book to readers of
fantasy.
