> 24 hourI was so impressed by the plot-line and characters in this series of books, of which this one is the first. All three of them kept me up late reading and reading to see what happened next. The allegorical references were subtle, but very powerful. I highly recommend this book and its sequels. I am thrilled to have found them!

> 24 hourI enjoyed this book. It reminds me a bit of C.S. Lewis Chronicles of Narnia in its use of allegory, most of which is pretty obvious. It was a good entertaining read and I plan to buy the remaining books in the series.

> 24 hourMaggie ventures through lands she never imagined. All the characters were well-developed and so natural in their world. Looking forward to book 2!

> 24 hourI enjoyed this very much, and plan to purchase the Omnibus. I didnt know this was Christian fiction before reading, but realized it quickly. As a Grandmother of 11, several of whom are avid readers, I am going to share this with them. They will enjoy the fantasy aspect of the book, as well as the Christian allegories, and I know it is safe for them to read (which is very important to me).

> 24 hourRecently, I have been really enjoying epic fantasy, grand in scope and packed with descriptive details. Other works have left me feeling less than involved in the story and rather shallow. I have also had less time to devote to reading than I could wish. Upon starting this book, those two facts kept me wondering if this would be another shallow quick read. That definitely was not the case. The story grabbed me, and I found myself looking for ways to create reading time. It swept me along and kept me wondering what was next, without being confusing. At times, I could wish more detail to better envision the world around the characters, but my epic desires can be sated elsewhere. This is intriguing just the way its written. I also tend to prefer true sword & sorcery fantasy without modern elements to it. Though the technology here included some recent developments (i.e. trains), it was interesting rather than distracting. As for being religious fantasy, I found hints and suggestions of truth and beauty throughout. However, I look forward to seeing if future episodes of the trilogy have a bolder approach towards a true witness. Overall, a great read that inspired me to purchase the rest of the trilogy. This title is frequently on the free list, where I picked it up, and I definitely believe you wont be disappointed to try it.

> 24 hourI had just read a book that was interesting but wasn’t very well written, so after I finished that book I really wanted to find a series that I could really appreciate, and this book series was it. I have read this book and I’m in the process of reading the second book, and by what I have written so far it is much better written then the book I mentioned before, the storyline is also very interesting and creative. I am very glad that I found and read these books and look forward to reading the rest of the series. Thank you Rachel for a clean and wonderful read.

> 24 hourIf you like Kristen Britains Green Rider series , then this will appeal to you. The story follows the tried and tested format with the main character Maggie, an orphan with A tragic past traveling through difficult situations to deliver a scroll. There is the promise of the return of the king who had been previously driven away and has become somewhat of a mythical figure. There are several characters who are described as Gifted with extraordinary abilities who aid In the fight against darkness and its allies . There are many similarities in this book , to many other fantasy stories. However this book is well written ,and the author is able to hold your attention.

> 24 hourThis book was an unexpected surprise. Im finding myself enjoying fantasy stories more and more these days, and I especially love those with Christian elements. A few times I thought some things couldve been made clearer. I was confused at times by the ancient history of this storyworld, but perhaps I was looking for the parallels and symbolism to our world too much. Overall, I really enjoyed following these characters on their first adventure and immediately went and purchased the second book in the series.

Never without a book
> 24 hourI loved it! Started reading, put on hold and forgot to get back to it for several books. When I got back to it, I wondered why I put it on hold in the first place. This is a Christian-based fantasy novel, but it is not in your face as it focuses more on the good vs. evil than a lot of scripture quoting in this book. The characters are well developed and engaging. Once hooked, you keep reading because you have to know how things turn out. The author provided a satisfactory ending in the event you dont want to go on to the next book. I plan to purchase the next book, as I need to see how things eventually turn out. I did find myself going back to the beginning and other sections to review what happened as the story unfolds. I like that because it means I have to pay attention to fully follow the story.
