This was very well written, with interesting characters, an engaging plot, and great world building. A quick note, this is Christian sci-fi, so if Christian fiction isn’t your cup of tea, you might want to skip over this one. I think part of what I enjoyed so much about this is that Anna’s faith wasn’t blind or unwavering – she might be practicing in secret, but she has doubts that she has to confront through the course of the novel. While not a quick read, it doesn’t move very show more slowly at all, and you’ll find just enough twists to keep you wondering what’s next. show less

What a fantastic book! I am an avid reader and lover of fantasy, but sometimes find it hard to find some great, old-school style fantasy. This ticks all the boxes for the things I love in a good fantasy read.

I loved the characters, especially because the author gave us plenty of them to really get to know, love and hate. It was great to watch them develop and really get to see where some of the mains were 'hopefully' heading.

I liked the element of surprise, in the twists and turns the show more author provided for us. The flow of the story matched this perfectly, as you could feel the suspense growing when something was about to happen, but were often still caught off guard by who was involved or how it happened. I loved this, especially because it meant I got to think through the story.

This book had a great feel to it. I mean this in the sense that I could really feel myself getting into the story, loving the plot and characters and getting very excited that there is more to the series. Akin to a lot of the great fantasy writers, I want more more more.

I highly recommend this book to lovers of George R. R. Martin, David Eddings, etc.
