Overall this was a good (Portal) fantasy read. Especially as it is a debut novel for the author. 
 
The world is very well done and the characters are intriguing. The plot moves at a good pace and is straightforward without too much complexity. 
 
The contrast between hardcore Christianity and some evil torture scenes felt a little weird. 
 
It defiantly feels more like a first in a series, than a standalone though.
