Download As PDF : Dimension Shifter Dimensions Saga (Audible Audio Edition) T M Nielsen Todd Curless TM Nielsen Books
The dimensions are in chaos, magic is illegal, and water is a rare commodity. Kyrin is running from the law. As a magic user, she's marked for death, and as a run-away from the Shadowmere, she's hunted as a weapon. Shifting between dimensions is all that's kept her alive.
On the brink of being caught by the Shadowmere, Kyrin stumbles into a dimension devoid of the drought and seemingly untouched by the wrath of the Consortiums. In this dimension she finds a people innocent of the evils of the universe and naïve to the worlds surrounding them.
Lord Alric has ruled over his kingdom for 15 years under the direction of their god, Sithias. Before his time, the gods fought, and evil was removed from the lands. It isn't until Kyrin arrives that he's even considered that evil may still be among them, or that the long-dead use of magic may still be around.

I got this because it was a free book and I liked the summary.I give this book three stars. Really I want to give it less, because I am so frustrated with the second half of the book which spiraled down pretty badly, leaving me annoyed with the book and struggling to finish, and dissatisfied when I did. But I will give it a three for the plot and first half.
Kyrin is able to shift between dimensions and is on the run from men who are hunting her for her ability to use magic and other 'crimes' that she has committed.
While on the run, she shifts into the dimension of Paragoy, a land of plenty ruled by a peaceful god, Sithias.
Because when she first entered into Paragoy she had been fatally injured, and then was healed by the priests and the king of the land, she becomes an indentured servant for one year to repay the king for saving her life.
She finds the people there are kind, and offer her friendship, but because her own god Daemionis (a cruel and petty god) is ever watching her and has installed in her a complete distrust of all people she is too fearful to trust the people of Paragoy. She feels unworthy of normal human feelings such as compassion, tenderness and love.
In the dimension that Kyrin comes from men oppress and beat the women, often forcing them into marriage, then losing interest in them when they become pregnant and casting them out.
Kyrin has vowed never to marry or have children.
Things get complicated when she begins developing romantic feelings towards the king and he towards her.
She begins to feel even more conflict because the demands of her god Daemionis for human sacrifices bumps up against the peace loving god Sithias rules for his followers.
She must fulfill a year of service to the king of paragoy to be able to leave the kingdom, but can not help but be changed by the ways of the paragoy people.
Ok what I liked, I think the first half of this book was good. I liked the idea of a multidimensional universe, and shifters between the worlds gave us (the readers as well as the author) a chance to play out the differences of morals, values, and worship practices.
But I quickly got tired of the caustic views of Kyrin regarding the issues of marriage, love and children in spite of what she sees and learns from the people of paragoy.
The book covers two and a half years of time. It seemed to go on and on after the original concept of the book ran out.
Nearly the entire second half of the book was one long and painfully (to the reader) drawn out internal struggle of kyrin.
SPOILER ALERT THIS NEXT PARAGRAPH PLEASE SKIP IT IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW
***In the end the author failed to have kyrin grow into maturity and learn her choices were wrong (in short allow 'good to win') rather she (the author) forced kryin into everything that she claimed that was wrong in the dimension that kyrin was from. The practice of Human sacrifices, forcing women into marriage, forced sex upon women, forced pregnancy.. oh wait that last one is the next book ****
*** END OF SPOILER
I believe she did that so that the series could easily continue, but it was a bad choice if you ask me.
I was so frustrated that I spent soooooooooooooo much time on a book that in the end went horribly wrong. Ugh!
I was uncomfortable with the ending or really lack of ending so I went back to smashwords to look at the sample of the next book. Judging from the sample, the series continues with more of the same. Kyrin playing ignorant, helpless, and child-like in her maturity.
Do I recommend this book? ... No, not really it was more frustrating read then it was fruitful one.

Dimension Shifter Dimensions Saga (Audible Audio Edition) T M Nielsen Todd Curless TM Nielsen Books Reviews
The story was a good read. A little to preoccupied with innocence, as to
make it unbelievable, but still entertaining. I recommend it.
Oh wow!
I ran in to a copy of this and ... Just Wow.
Rather a whole different fantasy arrangement, all I'll say if you want a really strong (?anti-)heroine, this series will blow your socks off and leave your toes curled.
Teh l33t!
Strongly recommended.
From the author of the Heku series, which I immediately got hooked on, comes another series that has hooked me from the first book. As soon as I finished book 1, I bought the rest of the books in the series. T.M. Nielsen is a very imaginative writer. The characters are realistic; the story flows smoothly and I just cannot seem to put the books down once I start reading. Although I wish there were more books in the Heku series, I am glad to have another series to focus on. I'm sure this series will be even better than the last and look forward to more.
This was a very different story, although at it's heart a story about romance and magic. Magic was outlawed in most places and in others simply lost. Romance seemed to be highly variable across the different dimensions. Now add to the confusion, a mix of deities, both good and bad with bad being very bad. Deities with a very hands on approach in dealing with there followers. The dimensions, of which there seemed to be a great many and all highly varied. Some were apocalyptic cesspools while a very few were dimension of plenty and of peace. This story centers on a magic user who of course is an outlaw ( after all she uses magic) and on the run, able to cross dimensions. Paragoy where this story begins, is a dimension of plenty, primarily a dimension of good. She, all things considered ,is classified as an evil. The king of Paragoy is good, so this tale may be considered a Good vs Evil but that may be a little simplistic. Still opposites attract, good often conquers evil, boy meets girl and the stories just beginning!
I got this because it was a free book and I liked the summary.
I give this book three stars. Really I want to give it less, because I am so frustrated with the second half of the book which spiraled down pretty badly, leaving me annoyed with the book and struggling to finish, and dissatisfied when I did. But I will give it a three for the plot and first half.
