I read this book as an e-mail book and was very impressed with the first work by this author. She was able to build characters and keep them consistent in their behavior throughout the work. I am looking forward to more works by her. I'm now buying it in hard back to re-read.

I'm a huge fan of Della's work in the area of fanfiction online and am now an even bigger fan of her original writing. This book is amazingly unique and a spellbinding read: I didn't put it down for 48 hours! Incredible 3D characters, beautifully described settings and a brilliant plotline make this first book in the Gates of Transformation series a joy to read.
So buy it! Buy it now!

This is not your typical supermarket time-waster fiction. Ms Boynton takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotional adventure. The trials and tribulations of the main character would seem outre and extreme but they follow locgically from the premice - what if your soul were snatched from the void just as it left your body, only to be attached to another's body - someone of the opposite sex? What can compare with this kind of extreme identity crisis? Thus begins a trek to find, hold and reconcile identity with internal knowlege, external form, and society's expectations.

The author's style is rough and unpolished - which suits the work well. The story moves too fast to stop and dawdle on niceties of style. It's not PC and not romantic, just raw. I consider it a rare work striking to the core of experience.
