> 3 dayThis story reminds me a lot of Lord of the Rings. Fantasy, legends and deep beliefs in things that people make harder to believe in than they should! Maggie receives a scroll from a dying man to be delivered to Pravick; a place where she will find the one person that can read and protect it. The people, dangers and adventures encountered along the way make this read so good!

> 3 dayExcellent writer. A cross between Lord of the Rings & Chronicles of Narnia, but in another world setting with shades of the Kingdom. It was hard to put it down. I really enjoyed the suspense, mystery and characters. Starting to read book #2. Thank you!

> 3 dayThis is a novel about the spiritual battle between the forces of good and evil. Any Christian should recognize the similarities between the King who has been in another world for a long time and the Lord Jesus Christ. Most of the people on Earth have forgotten Him or stopped believing in this novel. But there are some who hold the hope of His return in their hearts. There also is a prophet and a seer, making the novel more interesting. The common people tire of their evil rulers and revolt, only to be confronted by the powers of darkness. It was an interesting read, although I felt that much of the n novel gave too much focus on the power of darkness instead of the power of good. N

> 3 dayI normally do not read fantasy, but this year it seems I have stumbled into a rare breed of fantasy that I like; non-magical fantasy. After reading Truth and The Tiphereth Trilogy, I decided I was willing to try Rachel Thomsons Seventh World Trilogy. I was not disappointed. This whole series is nothing like I expected it to be. Although an allegory, Rachel went beyond the typical to make an extraordinary tale that not only was captivating, but gave some deeper insight into our faith. Without giving too much away, the allegory focused more on the beginning of the Bible. The only thing that kept me from giving it five stars on Goodreads was that there were some pretty intense and dark moments in the book. The dark didnt overshadow the good, and Rachel did well at not making it too dark, but it was very intense at points. Rachels writing style is nothing short of lyrical. I reread many portions and read some of them aloud, just because they sounded amazing. I can see this as wonderful book to read aloud as a family. Rachel has what many traditionally published others struggle to obtain -- a unique and compelling writing style. The story itself kept me on the edge of my seat. In fact I read the whole series in a little over a week while I was sick. It is a real page-turner and took many unexpected twists. The relationships that develop were nothing like what I expected in the beginning. It was so refreshing to read a book that didnt turn out like I thought it would at the beginning. I highly recommend this whole series those who love non-magical fantasy, allegories, adventure stories, and those looking for a book that is anything but normal. You can get a free e-book or buy a paperback copy at Amazon, Barns and Noble, Smashwords, iTunes, and Kobo

> 3 dayI 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!

> 3 dayWell-written and nicely edited. I dont know if it bothers others, but typos, spelling, and grammatical errors are such an eye sore for me. It seems that most e-books have their errors, but I dont know exactly why. Perhaps the editing isnt very thorough. One of the things that I noticed about this series is its overall excellence. That includes writing, editing, story, characters, and creativity. I would urge all fans of Christian fantasy, or any type of fantasy, to get into this series. Reminiscent of CS Lewis, its inspiring, powerful, and worth your time.

> 3 dayRachel Starr Thomson creates amazing worlds; Ive enjoyed each book of hers Ive read to date, and this is no exception. Bought it a while back, then splurged this week and purchased the entire series plus another series shes created. This is the second time Ive read this novel. The author draws us quickly into a world where the forgotten is becoming known once more, and the unseen becoming clear - to some, at least. A very enjoyable alt medieval universe, good vs evil tale. Looking forward to reading the next book in this series!
