This was an awesome work of science fiction and fantasy! Dianne is a superb writer and I was thouroughly engrossed in Ian's story! Her world building and imagery is wonderful and makes this story leap from the pages. I was definitely caught up and amazed with the realm Dianne had created. She writes with great description and fluidity. The story begins with an old tale that speaks of magic and dragons. It tells of a man that will come from through the window and rid the land of the dragon that plagues it. This sets the perfect stage for Ian's journey and before you know it, both Ian and his dad have been sucked through their computer screen and into a different realm! The premise for Deception Peak is original and exciting! I liked the fact that you are continuously transported back and forth between Ian's real life and the realm they have created. It keeps you on your toes and surging forward to find out what will happen next. I also enjoyed how it focuses on the father, son relationship between Ian and Alex. I am definitely glad this is going to be a trilogy! I look forward to reading the next adventure Dianne has in store for us! Ian's Realm is a perfect read for young adults, especially teen boys who enjoy fantasy and a bit of science fiction. This book comes highly recommended by me!
