Description

George Edrik expected a phone that was long outdated, barely functional- maybe a Chinese knockoff at best.

What he didn’t expect was a different world. In Telora, the nights have been conquered by a relentless force known as the prowlers, and nature has retaken the land. Mankind is forced to dwell underground in grand cities, unified by the guild.

In his attempts to acclimate to his new world, George becomes wrapped in intrigue between the guild, the reclusive elves, and the savage graldor, as revelations surface that send tremors throughout Telora.

Overall
This story is very enjoyable, and features a good application of the trope in which the MC is sucked into a fanstastical world. The style and grammar are great, and the characters are unique and interesting.
Style + Grammar
Sometimes the pacing felt a bit off but when the narrative slowed down it flowed very well. The author writes compelling dialogue and the prose is straightforward and enjoyable. The grammar was pretty much perfect.
Story
As I mentioned, the protagonist of this story is bizzarely transported to a new world. However, the way in which this happens leaves a lot of potential for some interesting twists and turns. Has the phone that took him to this other world done the same to others before? The prowlers, strange creatures which kill those who stay out at night in this strange new world, add even more suspense. The world itself has a unique feel to it, with some interesting terminology and a lot of political intrigue to drive the story.
Characters.
George is a fine MC and the other characters are good as well. I did feel that George adjusted a bit faster to the world than I would have expected, but there’s plenty of time to explore his feelings concerning this a bit more. Lestra and Donald feel like people of their own and not just generic companions, and the well written dialogue helps a lot to get to know these characters and how they relate to each other.
