Christian epic fantasy is possible. This is a small, but truly enjoyable, Christian, epic fantasy. The characters are interesting: both good and evil. The warfare is strongly and well done. Parts are very sad. Much is gloriously joyful. The relationships are … Continue reading →
This is a good book and a compelling read, but very dark. In this day and age, many will like it or even love it. The other reviews prove this out. But I found yet another unrelenting tale of darkness … Continue reading →
