Another great, fantastical story. This is the first one where both parties knew the girl had actually been brought to another world. Ilsa knew she'd been married to the twin of the guy in her new world, but she also knew she'd lost two children in her world... one of them a direct result of her asshole husband. So how wonderful (uncomfortable?) that those two children had survived in this new world? I'm not sure what Apollo's problem was in the beginning of the story... why he left her and sent her with his men to make her way back to his home, but I suppose it was good in a way. His men quickly recognized that Ilsa was not "their" Ilsa, that she was a completely different person. I kinda liked that they gave her another name, and Maddie is what she ended up using in her new world. I wanted to smack Apollo a few times... they had a few bumpy roads, and it was often from Apollo being a jerk. Sure, he didn't physically abuse her, but sometimes he was mentally abusing her, and I was glad that she pointed it out to him. It was also really cool that Maddie was able to meet the other women of her world, and it was really cool what they were able to accomplish together. Based on how this one ended, I was wondering if there would be more, but I am happy to see that there *is* more in this series.
