Worlds Unseen (Seventh World Trilogy)

I enjoyed this novel very much. Ms. Thomson paints beautiful scenes on which fanciful adventures unfold. Characters you can love or hate (or sometimes love to hate); mystical scenery; plots that weave themselves in and out of each other -- What more could one want? This was the first Ive read of her, but it will not be the last!

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.

The story is original and entertaining. Good character development. Recommend to Narnia and Eragon lovers. I will read more of this author.

Wonderful story line and a great series!

I 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!

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 enjoyed this very much, and plan to purchase the Omnibus. I didnt know this was Christian fiction before reading, but realized it quickly. As a Grandmother of 11, several of whom are avid readers, I am going to share this with them. They will enjoy the fantasy aspect of the book, as well as the Christian allegories, and I know it is safe for them to read (which is very important to me).

Ok, so I love this author! Have read several of her works over the past few months and I have to say here stories touch my heart. Worlds Unseen is no different. Great epic Christian fantasy! This is only book one and I do plan on finishing the series. Requesting my library to order the series. Good versus evil, lives redeemed, and sacrifices made, this is a good read! I give it five stars and can recommend to all fantasy lovers, teens on up.

What an incredible book to read. This book was on point from beginning to end. I just love it. Never a dull moment. I had moments of sadness because the story is so well written and the poems are really deep. I couldnt help but to like the story. My hat off to the author. Thanks!

Its hard to find good Christian fantasy. This one was a great intro to Thomsons talent, and is now one of my favs alongside Lawhead and Dekker. Looking forward to getting into book 2! On a personal note, I found this book a great encouragement and reminder of the real-life spiritual realm which we dont often-enough recognize.
