Great introduction to the World Gates series!

Angelique Blanchard dreams of the days of old - knights in shining armor, magic and a round table where men are equal. Instead, her parents are dragging her to look at enormous universities that are impersonal and not where she wants to go after graduating from high school. But when she falls asleep in the backseat of the station wagon during a storm, she thinks she wakes up in Camelot. Except rather than being a wonderful place, she quickly finds out that Nord D'Rae is NOT QUITE CAMELOT. For Angie, its almost love at first sight when she first meets the moody Prince Reynart. Offering her his protection from the Mage Gervaise, she hides in his rooms during the day. As their attraction grows, so does the danger that Angie is in; for little does she know, her arrival wasn't an accident! Angie and Reynart are truly star-crossed lovers and how they meet, I found fascinating. I really thought it was interesting that while this is an alternate universe, Angie was able to speak and understand the language of the nobles even though she couldn't read the language, nor could she understand any of the other languages of the world. I am going to admit that I had a problem with Angie giving herself to Reynart. Even though she liked him, I felt kind of like she was compensating him for protecting her with her body. However, I admired Reynart because I didn't feel like he was taking advantage of Angie. He was ensuring her safety from his family's mage (an evil Merlin) and he fell in love. While I would have liked the story longer (I'm a greedy reader...I always want more) NOT QUITE CAMELOT is an excellent introduction to SHADOW PRINCE. I think Ms Dunne truly has the calling to weave wonderful stories and she didn't disappoint with NOT QUITE CAMELOT. I'm greatly looking forward to more stories in the World Gates series.
