The best chance this typical “high fantasy” novel had of standing out was the five college students from our world who were pulled into Fionavar. We could have experienced the world through their more relatable point of view.

Unfortunately, I don't think the idea was used to its full potential. None of the five really bring anything of their modern selves to the party. They blend into their new surroundings quickly and without any problem adjusting to the world of Fionavar. It seems like a missed opportunity.
