The Exchange reminded me of "the wood between worlds" in 'The Magician's Nephew' by CS Lewis. There were a few other moments that reminded me of 'Prince Caspian' and 'The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.' As I read it, there was a small part of it that also gave off a slight dystopian vibe, though it wasn't much or really that noticeable. Outside of that, I enjoy reading it and had to read a few parts again because of what was happening.
