Oh, that was probably hard for you, John. I think you made the right choice, though.

We're coming full circle. Back in Hopewell, old friends reuniting, and demons on the loose.

Okay, so the Gypsy Morph is the boy Hawk from Armageddon's Children, right? Right? It has to be... Oh well, I guess I'll have to RAFO...

It's nice to see John Ross as his old self again. :)

I love the juxtaposition of real world situations and magical ones in the Word and the Void series. There can be crazy strange things happening in the world, but life for all the normal people continues to go on like it always has. They have no idea they're surrounded by demons and other foul things that have come to destroy humanity.

Whoa. 10 year jump. We're back in Hopewell, and everything is changed... the paths of Nest Freemark and John Ross are about to cross once again... And there's a creepy demon posing as a preacher, with his demon minions. Sweet...

Now we're getting down to it...

Logic is fun.

Now to get started on this book. Oh, I love Ken Ham. This should be great :D

Oh my gosh, the similarities between Kvothe and Mathurin are ridiculous... I wonder if Mr. Patrick Rothfuss read The Walking Drum as a child...?

Except for the romance aspect of course. Kvothe doesn't get unrealistically good with ladies until the last half of the second book. Mathurin seems to have ALWAYS been ridiculously good with women.

Dang, this book is good. Challenging stuff...

Having a lot of fun rereading this book. :D

Okay, seriously. Kerbouchard totally reminds me of Kvothe. I mean, they both come from a culture that reveres standing-stones, for crying out loud!

I'm really enjoying this book. The theme of homelessness and poverty they are tackling is interesting and compelling, and fits in with the story very well. It's not tacked on to prove a point--the characters really care about the issue, and the author is tackling it from a lot of different, interesting angles.

And the plot thickens...

So, I'm really interested in what event sets off the end of the world. Guess I'll have to keep reading to find out.

"God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through."

There's a demon on the prowl...

The last chapter was written for me. The focus of the chapter was to stop "trying harder", and to simply fall more in love with God. This is something I've been struggling with for a while now. Every time I mess up I resolve to try harder next time, but then completely neglect reading my Bible, praying, and doing other things that will bring me closer to God. Thank you, Francis Chan, for this book.

"To call someone a Christian simply because he does some Christian-y things is giving false comfort to the unsaved. But to declare anyone who sins "unsaved" is to deny the reality and truth of God's grace."
