Worlds Unseen (Seventh World Trilogy)

I truly enjoyed this book. I downloaded it to my phone and found myself looking for a moment here and a moment there so I could read. The story flow was great! The characters were all depicted in such a way as to draw you into the story! I loved it!

I am so very impressed by Thomsons Seventh World series. I loved the imagery and the beautiful characters. I highly recommend this book for those wanting to believe in something, the human heart.

When I first started reading, the title and comer said Sci-fi, but it came apparent it was more fanticy and lore. Still a great story. Almost comes across like a religious myth, he left and will return and defeat the evil ones. I think if you can get through a few chapters, youll enjoy reading the reat!

This 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.

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 loved this book. I thought the characters were relate able and interesting, the story was great and the world was imaginative and thoughtful. I usually dont review things because I know only five stars are helpful and I cant give five stars, but this one I wanted to.

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 thought the plot was clearly developed. A classic story of good and evil written without profanity and anything that you would be ashamed of having your children read. I highly recommend this book to any that are searching for good clean well written fantasy. Even though this is a fantasy series there are many golden nuggets of truth within its pages!

I had an awesome time adventuring with Maggie and crew in Worlds Unseen. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed reading this story. I will consider continuing to follow this author. He knows how to keep up the suspense of the story line
