Book 1 of 3: The Planar Pages

See all formats and editions

Life flourishes in the Book, a world of stacked realms spanning the ages, like the pages of an epic chronicle. Each page opens to domains evoking the glory of ancient empires, the passion of the Renaissance, or the adventure of court intrigue. Those who can travel between them are page turners, blessed with the power to go from one page to the next.

For investigator Fiona Thorne, turning the page is normal life. Solving mysteries is where the excitement lives. No case is too small to ignite her curiosity, no page too familiar to explore. She is determined to leave her mark in the Book, no matter where her cases may lead.

Whether unravelling conspiracies in an Elizabethan-like kingdom, outwitting sly cutthroat panthers on Roman seas, or navigating intrigues in a Venetian realm of canals and secretive fae, Fiona follows clues through page after page.

Blaze, the page of fire, is wasting away. Fire elementals are being smuggled out in waves, but by whom? Fiona is on the job and nothing will hold her back, not even the overbearing Travel Guild. They may run the Book, but they don’t rule her. With the fire page and its creatures on the brink of winking out, she has to race to unravel who the smugglers are and how to stop them. Is there more to this case than it seems? Can Fiona read between the lines and solve it in time?

This is the first of a brilliant new fantasy mystery series in a world where people are more than their ability, their job, or their page (fae or human). Come for the world-building and mysteries. Stay for the delightful characters whom you’ll root for time and time again. This series is definitely a page turner

Love This Mystery!

Such a great, immersive mystery. I want to see an animated series based on this world. I love the idea of "the book." And the ending was perfect and so satisfying! (Also - I want Fiona's scarf!!)

Light read - Private investigator in a fantasy world

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2023

This fantasy novel is a light read about Fiona Thorne, a private investigator who lives in the Book, which is made up of many worlds, or "pages". She's a turner, able to travel between worlds. In her efforts to do good, we learn about this fantastical world and Blaze, the fire page, is in danger of being snuffed out. Fiona is working against the clock, but she'll find there's more than one mystery to be solved when it comes to the elemental fire page and it's denizens.

While this is a light read, the world this author is building for this series is dynamic and multidimensional. We quickly learn that the ability to travel between worlds is fairly new and has changed the worlds of the people in the Book as they once knew it. I look forward to reading more books in this series!

I enjoyed the clever play on words, but if you're struggling, the glossary of terms in the back is a big help.

What a wonderful cozy read!

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2023

Between the Lines is a cozy mystery set in a fantasy world. The world itself is kind of a character with all the various “pages” the main must visit to solve the mystery. She’s a great character, an investigator in a hostile environment, someone with a big heart. She isn’t perfect as we see as the story advances. She might be forced to give up on some of her biased opinions about a certain organization before the end of the book. These biases led to some red herrings that are well done. I loved the side characters as much as the main. True imagination and fun rolled into one book. If you like mysteries, fantasies, cozies of any type, give it a look! 5 stars. I’ll be reading the second soon.

Pefect for avid book and page lovers

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2022

Greetings! Wouldn't you just love it if you could live between the pages of a book? For real. Just imagine the Spine of the book as a whole cosmopolitan and turning but one page, is a life altering experience.

Meet Fiona Thorne. Like most avid book and page lovers, curiosity is the death of her. As an investigator, being a page turner enables her to to travel through pages in the Book and to ensure that law and order will be in perfect harmony - black and white, like the black letters on a white page. But mysteries are what excite her and what will any book be if it doesn't tickle our curiosity?

Seeing that this is Book #1 in The Planar Pages Series, I'm sure there will still be couple of pages to turn for Fiona. But for the first edition, Fiona finds herself trying to solve the mystery of why someone is capturing Fire Elementals from Blaze, the Page of Fire. Or at least, I think that was the main plot for this instalment of the series?

With a large variety of different characters and creatures, plotlines, bookish terminology as character trades and world building, the main synopsis of Between the Lines got lost between all the lines and I never really picked it up again.

I did love the author's creative writing style and the bookish terminology is very clever. A glossary might be a good idea? Fiona is a lovely, inquisitive character and meeting all her friends and allies was a fun reading experience.

I believe this series might have a lot of potential and as a curious book creature myself, we are eagerly awaiting to see how the next page turns.

Interesting concept

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2022

Fiona is a page-turner in a fantasy land whose job is basically a private investigator for hire. She encounters friends and foes as she accepts dangerous assignments to keep all parts of the “book” alive and well
I enjoy a good fantasy and really liked the concept of a fantasy world within a book. Unfortunately, I found this story to be very confusing in the beginning which made it hard to get involved with and was actually boring at times. Since this book is planned to be the first in a series, I would have liked to see more explanation about the various creatures and entities such as physical descriptions and background information. For instance, what is the traveler’s guild and the guides and how is the governance of the fantasy book land set up? What are the roles of the different characters and what is the basis of the various conflicts? I think taking time to explain these concepts while describing Fiona’s adventures would have really helped set up the series. And a simple map or diagram of the various lands within the book would make a nice visual that could explain a lot. This book did not entice me to read any further. Unfortunately, a fascinating concept and unique fantasy world was poorly executed.

Unique and interesting world

Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2022

The characters in this story were delightful. Fiona, the main protagonist, is a girl detective of sorts. She lives in Spine and travels the pages. The world is fascinating. We meet salamanders, a phoenix, a sprite that was absolutely endearing, and a host of other characters. Someone is stealing the elementals and Fiona is asked to find the Blackstone and return it. Is the Travel Guild behind the theft? Who can she trust? I would like to have had more explanations about how the world worked, what were jackets? turners? what did being inked mean? etc. The world was unique and the characters were well developed. I look forward to reading more about Fiona and her world. I received a free copy of this book via The History Book Club.
