Worlds Unseen (Seventh World Trilogy)

My daughter gave me a Kindle for Christmas and it had Worlds Unseen on it. She thought I would like it and I did. I have been looking for Christian fantasy for a long time. I didnt know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. I wanted to know more about what was going to happen to the characters. Im trying to write my own Christian fantasy series and Im glad to know there is more than historical romance and end time prophecy stories.

Rachel Starr Thomson is fast becoming one of my favorite fiction writers. She does a wonderful job using fictional stories to illustrate biblical principles. I look forward to reading her other books!

Worlds Unseen is an epic tale of determination and triumph. Maggie Sheffield was given a scroll from a dying man—who holds many secrets. She must take it to the only person who can read it. On her journey to Pravick, Maggie encounters creepy shadows and other evil forces. It’s a good thing she has others to accompany her on her journey. She joins with the surviving members of the Council, The Ploughman, Libuse (a princess) Nicolas Fisher (a gypsy with the gift of hearing) and many more. Rachel Starr Thomson does a wonderful job by creating intriguing characters and parallel worlds. Her lyrical prose and allegoric biblical components enriches the story as well. Worlds Unseen is a story fit for a wide audience, and is definitely a must read!

When Maggie leaves home and her guardian, Mrs. Cook, to fulfill her promise to a dying man and deliver a parchment, she has no inkling of the terror that would hunt her or the world-changing events she would stumble into. But what is meant to be will be, and Maggie, though she doesn’t know it yet, is no ordinary girl. Arriving in the port town of Calai, Maggie soon becomes the target of some unsavory characters. Nicholas and his friend, Bear, come to her aid. Like Maggie, Nicholas is no ordinary boy and he’s had to cope with being different since he was small. But the real trouble is yet to come. Nicholas rescues Maggie again when an otherworldly creature comes after her. They escape and join some gypsies on their way to Pravik. Once again, Maggie is attacked by something supernatural, and they agree to travel alone, leaving the gypsies behind. On arriving in Pravik, they are thrust into a skirmish between the High Police of the Overlord and a group of angry farmers and students. Maggie meets the man she is committed to deliver the parchment to and things start to heat up. Meanwhile Mrs. Cook helps an old acquaintance rescue another special young person who is being hunted by the same evil that hunts Maggie. But all is not as it seems. Mrs. Cook and her party arrive in Pravik as well, and Maggie and Mrs. Cook reunite. As the story progresses, history unfolds. This is a well-written and engaging tale. My only negative is that my favorite character didn’t get enough page time. It looks as if that will be corrected in Burning Light, the next book in The Seventh World Trilogy. Worlds Unseen is an enjoyable story that pulls the reader in. It is populated with rounded characters who learn and grow.

I have been disappointed with popular contemporary fantasy literature (such as Song of Fire and Ice) which have taken a wonderful genre and pumped-in sex for the sake of sex, violence for the sake of violence, completely depthless characters, and heroes who are villains by any definition. I stumbled upon the 7th World Trilogy accidently, and wish that I could find more like it. Superbly written, utterly engrossing, and amazingly original.

If you enjoy the fantasy of Lewis, Tolkien, and Stephen Lawhead, you will enjoy the works of Rachel Starr Thomson. The Seventh World Trilogy has compelling characters, an engaging adventurous plot with surprising twists written with a strong moral compass. Im so glad to have found this author!

I found this book more like CS Lewis than Peretti but I still enjoyed it. Not what I usually read but found myself pulled into the characters. Will definitely read the other 2 sequel to see what happens to everyone

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!

This introductory book in the trilogy captured my interest with unique characters and enough mystery to keep me reading. The age old fight of good vs evil was portrayed in a way that left readers wondering how it would end. Im anxious to read e next installment.

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!!!!
