> 24 hourAs a student of Gods word, I love the symbolism of each character. Ms. Thomas writes with such imagination and detail, you can see her world. I look forward to the next book!

> 24 hourI loved all three of these books. They vaguely reminded me of Narnia because of their alternate world theme, but the plot-line was all its own. The Seventh World awaits the coming six individuals - Warrior, Singer, Seer, Healer, Listener, Voice - whose union will announce the returning of their banished King. Only the King has the power to overthrow the tyrannical powers which currently rule the Seventh World.

> 24 hourIts hard to find good Christian fantasy. This one was a great intro to Thomsons talent, and is now one of my favs alongside Lawhead and Dekker. Looking forward to getting into book 2! On a personal note, I found this book a great encouragement and reminder of the real-life spiritual realm which we dont often-enough recognize.

> 24 hourAmazing well-written fiction of the likes of C.S. Lewis, Chronicles of Narnia, and easier to read than J.R.R.Tolkien. I have been looking for good fantasy fiction that depicts good versus evil, especially with the twist of the unseen realm. Rachel Starr Thomson nailed it beautifully! She gives us characters we can care about, plot lines that are well thought out and conflict that resonates with our souls. In the midst of it, she also causes us to lift up our heads and look for another realm - something good that is higher, something good that is coming even when evil abounds. Thank you, Rachel. The character of Virginia Ramsey made me examine my own faith as I watched her trust in a King she only saw in visions - so true, so very true. I downloaded this one on my Kindle for free. Now I cant wait to read the other two! Great marketing ploy - it certainly worked for me. Please keep writing - Lewis and Tolkien are no long on the earth. We need more creative fiction like this - that entertains yet holds a deeper mystery of Truth. We need revelation to come through these stories. Theres so much out there, theres a huge hunger for spiritual reality in fiction right now - please write MORE. We need good quality writing like this. You rock! ♥

> 24 hourI liked the way the story came together and how they fought a war that was not over stretched to make story longer. The story was enjoyable. Plan to read the other books

> 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 truly enjoyed reading this! It is so refreshing to find a book that is clean of any physical romance while haveing romance in it, there are not many sadly. It had a good storyline, while reading I hardly wanted to put i t down. I would recommend this to any reader.One thing though is that the romance parts were so fast I didnt even realise two people were in love before something happened.

Its very well written. I actually thought about rating books Ive read in the past down a star. This book was refreshing and fun.

> 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.
