A Lovely Review and Update on Life
Rael of Reflective Beauty has posted her review of Worlds Unseen, including this lovely paragraph from an e-mail she sent me. I had a lot of fun reading this review because it’s so well-written — and it points out a few things in the story I really hoped people would notice :).
I wanted to thank you for your well-told story of life and death and tears and growing up, of ashes and newness and the bright, starry thread, of monsters and scoundrels and everyday heroes stepping bravely into battle against evil. Thank you for a picture of worlds unseen, of faith that hopes and believes when the night is dark. Of a King who is coming. Oh, I loved it!
Read the whole review here. If you’ve yet to read it, you can download Worlds Unseen for free (in many different e-formats) or buy the trade paperback. Visit the Worlds Unseen page for the appropriate links :).
Life is as busy and unpredictable as ever! I’m currently in the Niagara area putting together Soli Deo Gloria Ballet productions for Easter and the summer, praying about a possible open door for performing somewhere else (let’s just say “Olympics 2010″ and leave it at that — no, we won’t be dancing at the Opening Ceremonies, something less monumental!), wondering if I’ll be driving a friend to Ottawa in a few days, and outlining a devotional book that will work in tandem with our Soli summer production. Lots of fun, lots to do.
I loved the theme of the King returning too! I like the way fantasy often mirrors and reminds us of the aspects of this world.
Thanks for linking to my review, Rachel! It is an honor to be of service. Pretty soon here I ought to have a review written for Burning Light. :-)
And Elisabeth, I quite agree. That’s one of the reasons I love fantasy so much.
