Anna Sakarias' already troubled teen life is enormously complicated by the revelation she is a key asset in an interdimensional war.

Unfortunately, this particular author didn't get much time in which to improve. She died last year at age 47. (Source: Wikipedia, citing the Danish Broadcasting Corporation.)

Yeah, I discovered that while correcting the metadata on my e-arcs.

Shout-out to Garth Nix for Sabriel, my go-to example of how you can still have a decent teen fantasy adventure story even if the heroine starts off knowing what the hell is going on and what she needs to do about it.

Sabriel still encountered surprises along the way, for example that enchanted sleeper.
