I thought it was a fairly interesting piece of fiction. It definitely was enjoyable, and I read it fairly quickly. It was my first Ted Dekker novel and I enjoyed it. Up until the very end, I thought the plot was very unique. I gave it 4 and a half stars.

Very exciting. I thought it a tad slow at first, but the pace picks up rather quickly. Or rather, I started turning the pages quickly. As the first reviewer has said, there *are* some parts of graphic violence. I would not recommend this for children to read. Or the easily frightened (although personally I found it to be more of a thriller at worst, and I'm a real baby when it comes to horror stories).

written in the old style of Koontz--scary, creepy, evil--couldn't put it down

Ted Dekker is becoming a formulaic writer... This book starts out exactly the same as Blessed Child: an orphan boy in a monastery from infancy, who is very smart and a key factor in the battle of good and evil. Since I liked the Circle series, I finished this book but have no intentions of reading any more in the Books of History series. His descriptions of battles were graphic, bloody and gory, with the victims being children. Just don't have the stomach for this type of story. There were too many scenes that repeated previous ones I've read by him, as well. Time to move on... D.
