Worlds Unseen (Seventh World Trilogy)

Just when you think you have this book figured out they have a twist waiting for you right around the corner.

Very interesting allegory... liken to C.S. Lewis ... Well written and drawing you into the story, I look forward to reading more of the books.

It took me awhile to get into the book, trying to get used to the writing style but after I did I enjoyed it. It is a fantasy and was scary, sad and exciting. I cant wait to find out what happens in the next books in the trilogy.

I had just read a book that was interesting but wasn’t very well written, so after I finished that book I really wanted to find a series that I could really appreciate, and this book series was it. I have read this book and I’m in the process of reading the second book, and by what I have written so far it is much better written then the book I mentioned before, the storyline is also very interesting and creative. I am very glad that I found and read these books and look forward to reading the rest of the series. Thank you Rachel for a clean and wonderful 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.

Amazing 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! ♥

This 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!

I 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.

Well-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.

Very enjoyable. I would buy the rest of the series.
