Worlds Unseen (Seventh World Trilogy)

looking forward to reading the next book

Listen, I cant say enough good things about this series. A very interesting series. Set your theories about religion and God aside and enjoy this wonderful tale of magic and faith! Now, dont misunderstand me, this is a wonderful fantasy series with some overtones of the Omnipotent One, but still a wonderful book. Envelope yourself in the story and enjoy!

Rachel is an excellent writer. Cant wait to read more of her books. She is new and interesting.

This is a story that grabs your attention and wont let go. I read it in one day, because I could not put it down! The prologue opens with the scene of an assassin coming for her intended victims and reluctantly leaving one member of the household alive. Then the author fast-forwards, and we meet the girl that wasnt slain that fateful day. Maggie is an orphan entrusted first to the care of the kindly Mrs. Cook, and then to John and Mary, the couple whose house was burned to the ground. When she rescues a sweet old man who used to being the children at the orphanage presents, she learns there is more to her story than she could have imagined. The dying man entrusts to Maggies care an ancient scroll, which she promises to take to a scholar in a distant city. Not long after she begins her journey Maggie meets a delightful young man, who can hear and understand what others dont, and he helps her escape fearful dark creatures who will stop at nothing short of their destruction to recover the scroll. Meanwhile, a nobleman who was also once involved with the secret group that Maggies guardians were a part of, rescues a blind girl with the power to see what others cant. Evil forces are pursuing her, as well. But she has had an encounter with the King of the universe, and He has claimed and empowered her to fight. When the nobleman shows up with the girl at Mrs. Cooks doorstep, she finds herself involved in this but of intrigue, too. All roads lead to Pravik, the capital of the Eastern kingdom, and a showdown between the forces of good and evil. There are casualties and triumphs, both physical and spiritual along the way, as well as many discoveries about themselves and the unseen world for the travelers. Set in a fantasy world not unlike medieval Europe, Worlds Unseen has it all--princesses and paupers, rebels and gypsies, magic, romance, mystical writings, good and evil, terrifying creatures and valiant battles fought for the fate of the kingdom. Once you connect with the characters and plot, its hard to disengage! If you liked C.S. Lewiss Chronicles of Narnia or J.R.R. Tolkiens Lord of the Rings books, then you should find this one intriguing, as well. Allow yourself a substantial block of time to read it, because, once you start, you may not want to stop until its done! If youre like me, youll be hungry to read the other two books in the trilogy, too.

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!

Looking forward to reading more in this series. It is a clean fantasy about a world ruled by an evil family who get their power from the Darkness on the other side of the Veil. The Gifted are beginning to come forth ...

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.

This is my absolute favorite author ever!!! Any of her books are TOTALLY worth buying and reading!! Ive also heard shes an amazing person so thats awesome too! I would definitely support someone who is a person of great character!!

This was extremely well written and very gripping. I totally fell in love with the some of the characters. I loved this book and look forward to reading more of Rachel Starr Thomsons books. Read this book, you will not regret it.

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!
