The first book is set in America, but later in the series and the companion series, Children of the Bard and Oracles of Fire (taking place in biblical past), you see a few magical worlds/separate dimensions. This series takes place in present day... Read to find out! I loved the book/series.(less)

I'm interested in checking this out but I have a question about the Christian aspect of it. Is it just "this is a Christian fiction book with Christian themes like the Narnia series" type book or is it "OMG Christianity is the only way to go and everyone else will burn!" propaganda type? Basically, as a non-Christian book lover, will I feel like the author's "trying to save my soul" or will I simply enjoy a good book?

The Christian themes throughout this novel were painfully contrived. Great Christian allegories (even for children) are able to convey Christian themes and the Gospel message without forcing it by randomly inserting Bible verses without context or by using simplistic lines such as "just have faith" or "be blessed for believing." I appreciate the author's attempt, but it fell flat, and I hope this novel won't turn children away from Christian literature in the future.(less)
