Worlds Unseen (Seventh World Trilogy)

Wonderful new fantasy fiction, first of a series. Great character development, and fast paced adventure. The author is a Christian and her faith infuses her writing with hope and purpose, appropriately, without being preachy or Pollyannaish. I downloaded this first book without much expectation, but by the end of the first chapter I couldnt put it down. Now i cant wait to read the next of the series. Update: just purchased and downloaded the second book. Here we go!

I wanted to like this book particularly because I also a Christian but I found it to be bland if well written. I made it to chapter 6 when I quit

WOW! I was a bit leery when I first started this book, but it grabbed me and didnt let me down. I was thinking that I wouldnt like the fantasy aspect, but I was able to relate to it as it represents a lot of what goes on in our spiritual lives.

Enjoyed the book! I was captured within the pages of this book and went on an adventure I could not come out of until I read the last words of the book, The End! I dont even have words for how this book took me on this fantastic journey, but I will be thinking about it for many days. I highly recommend Worlds Unseen.

I enjoyed this allegory. Great truths mixed in with fantasy. Definitely reading the rest of the series. I want to know the rest of the story

This story was so hauntingly beautiful. I cried and laughed and thought about it when I wasnt reading. Its the sort of story that calls to you at a heart level and gives you eyes to see how the same beauty and mystery is present in our own reality. Im on my way to order the second book in the trilogy.

Wonderful story line and a great series!

As soon as I finish this review, I am getting the next book in the series! This is the first book I have read by Rachel Thomson, and it was an excellent read. The way she flipped back and forth from the writings of the prophet to the present time of the story was very engaging. She changed styles from poetry to dialogue to third person narrative and back again so fluidly that the story was one of the richest reading experiences I have had in a long time.

I dont like buying ebooks... Im stuck wanting physical copies I can lend and give away... but I was too interested in the world and characters of this book. Maggie was rescued from an orphanage, placed in a foster home... then basically orphaned again. The poor girl (how old is she, anyway?) has managed to overcome these hardships, and lives quite happily... until an old acquaintance delivers a mysterious old scroll before succumbing to a non-natural illness. Suddenly, Maggie learns of the murder of her foster family by someone called Evelyn, of the previous existence of a group investigating `worlds unseen whose members were key people in her life, and she has to know the secrets behind it all. She takes the scroll and embarks on a journey that will change her almost immediately, with Nicholas, a boy who can hear voices; Jerome, leader of a revolutionary group; Virginia, a blind seer; and evil shadowy creatures ready to invade the world unless it can be protected by the return of the King. The book gives snatches of old writings (or something) telling about the past, of the King who once ruled the world, of his Huntsman, and other creatures whose part Im still not really sure of. These were kind of cool, but also a little bit distracting. I liked how the locations were named. For example, Maggie comes from Londron. Easily we can see this is London, just as easily we can see this is not London. The romance was totally weird. Not in itself, just in how quickly it happened. She meets the guy, boom she knows shes in love, boom its over. Did I miss several chapters in the middle of the revolutionary stuff? Some other things happened a little abruptly too. For this reason, 4 stars. But I bought the sequel, and Im looking forward to what happens next. (Read on a Kindle.) (Note -- I didnt even know it was a Christian fantasy until I saw the other reviews here. Which means, well done.) Update: I was disappointed in the sequel and wont be bothering with the third one. I still think this book is worth the read, however.

Truly liked this book .It inspires truth faith hope.Giving the reader a peek into the character of our Lord Jesus Christ.Yes I would recommend it to my youth class at my church. Rachel keep up the good work!!!!
