I really enjoyed the idea behind this story. A teenage girl watches her mother being taken by a hooded figure and spirited away through a portal. Soon after she discovers Hell is real and it's in fact, another realm named Inferno. This realization comes with the not-less-impressive fact that her missing father, Dante Alighieri, comes from this realm and is a powerful leader among its people.
Enough to get your head spinning in a most exciting way.
I loved how the author incorporated classical myths and creatures with names in literature and Keisha's everyday shenanigans. Her journey of self-discovery includes everything that we love about these stories, including new friends, training sessions, and visiting jaw-dropping landscapes. It's a good read for children.
I do feel great children's books can also be enjoyed by adults, but this one didn't quite lure me in. It does have some striking elements that make it enjoyable, but I wasn't convinced by Keisha's personality.
It's fast-paced, exciting, and imaginative. Definitely recommend it for a younger audience that loves Fantasy novels.
