Worlds Unseen (Seventh World Trilogy)

I wasnt sure how I would like this book at first, but it really started to come together. Im really interested to read the next books. I know that some people dont like such direct analogies to Christian theology in their fantasy books, but I actually enjoy the direct approach. I want my books to provide me with encouragement that I can apply directly to my walk with Christ and I feel that this book does exactly that.

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!

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!

Compeling story that echos Gods eternal involvement in redemption. The struggle that each character faces when shown truth , to believe and act accordingly or reject and see truth fade is thought provoking on a personal level.

With this book it takes you into a world outside of the norm. The way you read the book it takes you into your own world. The words that are written can be taken and applied to all. Love how all the characters come together in some way in the end. Good read

This christian science fiction (aka steampunk or speculative fiction) is very well done! The seventh world waits for the coming King, but the darkness appears to be overcoming the light. Sound familiar? Maggie Sheffield is an insignificant twice-orphaned young woman. Her real parents die, then the ones who raised her, Mary and John, are killed in a fire. Now she lives with kindly old Eva Cook. Old Dan shows up, sick and dying, to warn them of something and to give them a scroll that he took from Evelyn and said it must not ever fall back into the evil womans hands. It must go instead to Jarin Huss, another member of the council, who might be able to read the foreign script. Old Dans illness is not a natural one. In a matter of three days hed gone from healthy to this--bleeding lungs and weakness that would claim him before the day was gone. Someone must take the scroll to Pravik, where Jarin Huss lives. Maggie takes on that challenge and finds on the way to Pravik that something is trying to kill her, and the High Police have issued a warrant for her arrest. Nicolas Fisher, a strange and somehow wild man, helps her find the way when the darkness threatens. Virginia is blind most of the time but sees far more than anyone knows. Lord Robert means well but has a weakness when it comes to Evelyn. Jordan (Husss assistant) and the Plowman try to protect Maggie and the Princess, but their lives could be forfeited in the process. You just have to get this one. Maggies life and several others stand in the balance. I received this book free from the author in return for an honest review.

I live fantasy and really enjoyed this book. I have read the whole series. Unfortunately I cant give any details. I read it too long ago to say anything about details

First of all, Id like to say that my review is 4.5 stars. When Amazon will add half stars I dont know, but theyll please many, many readers when they do. On to the book. I was expecting a mediocre story (unfortunately, most of the Christian fantasy Ive read is just that), but I got a very good one instead. Mrs. Thompson has talent; her prose is almost poetic. One particular passage stood out to me: He is the sun-king, and the moon-king, and all-the-stars-king, and he shines like them all together. I loved this so much I had to put down the book, write this down, and mull over it for a few minutes before returning to the story. I do have a few minor complaints, which are: 1.) no map, 2.) there are trains, which didnt work for me in a fantasy setting, 3.) the battle scene at the end was a little weak (although the other battes were quite good) but Ive found that in many fantasies; not everyone can accurately and convincingly convey a climactic battle, and 4.) the romance seemed rushed and forced. One last note: This is Christian Fantasy, but its not preachy, and I was able to enjoy the story of the King without feeling like it was copied from the Bible. Highly recommended!

I 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

This 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
