The cover of this book reminded me of an old style Christmas card. Nara's story is set very much in this style. The beginning of the book is reminiscent of the Victorian orphanage era.

The scene quickly changes to the countryside of apple blossoms and sunshine, giving Nara a life she has only dreamed of in her first eleven years. When the war of the mages changes her life once again, Nara is angry. She wants to continue the happy life she has experienced with Mirin, but this is not to be.

Breach of Worlds is a story of a young girl's journey from being alone in the world to finding friendship and family when she least expects it. As she grows older, Nara finds out things about herself that surprise and frighten her. The pleasant beginning runs throughout the book with lightheartedness and darkness weaving its way through the story.

I would recommend this book to children of twelve years old and older. It has magic, evil, warmth and trickery. All the things to make you read to the end of the book.
