Book Review of The Beggar King (Tales of the Forgotten God, Book 1)

The Beggar King (Tales of the Forgotten God, Book 1)
reviewed on


The first few pages of this book weren't very engaging for me, which made getting into it somewhat difficult. The story picked up after the first few pages though.

It's a beautiful, sometimes poetic, retelling of the traditional "Savior" story (mostly it seems to be based on Jesus).

The author has taken the many parables and mysteries of the New Testament and put them into plain words that most people would be able to understand. The fact that the wording and stories are so easy to comprehend are good for those who may be struggling with the lessons found in the Jesus stories; however, I feel that watering down the lessons may be dissatisfying for some readers.
