Book Review

I love pretty much any fantasy novel that comes my way, and this book is no exception. While I wouldn’t say it was my all-time favorite, I would still say that it would go towards the top of my list. This book will make your heart pound and your butt scoot to the edge of your seat.

I loved the characters, especially Viktor. While he isn’t maybe the most likeable at first and his intentions don’t seem honorable, there is an inner battle in him that drew me to him. He is a demon, but also one who is running away from his evil life. Matthias was also a likeable character, who would do anything to protect Thea, no matter the cost. He’s a very passionate character, caring about everybody around him.

I liked Sam, but I wished I could’ve gotten to see more interaction between him and Thea. He is obviously a love interest for Thea, but we don’t get to see much between them. There were also a couple of plot holes that left me confused and minor conflicts that I felt were resolved quickly.

HOWEVER, all that being said, I still really thoroughly enjoyed this book. While minor conflicts were resolved quickly, the major conflict wasn’t, and of course it wouldn’t be. The author describes (and quite beautifully, I may add), spiritual war. While the book is fantasy, it also should remind us that there is a spiritual war going on around us, and one that we always need to be mindful of.

I had received a copy of this book as part of the Celebrate Lit Blogging Team and was required to give an honest review.

More from Erin

If I’ve learned anything these past few months, it’s that I’m still not a fan of change. It’s always been hard for me to transition from what I know, to the unknown, and then find a new normal. Let’s be honest. Stepping out of our comfort zone isn’t supposed to be easy. It’s supposed to challenge and stretch our faith. And as a result of stepping out, we hope that we will learn and grow.

I love messy characters, because life is messy, and it doesn’t always work out the way we expect. It’s full of changes and situations. The characters in my series, The Kalila Chronicles, are no different. Each character has unique challenges. For some, they didn’t ask for change, and for others, they are stepping out on their own.

Here’s a little bit more about The Seer. The first book in The Kalila Chronicles:
For thousands of years, Viktor has carried out his orders from Lucifer faithfully. But after a recent demotion in rank, he has grown weary of the bloodshed. His latest order is to kill Thea, a seventeen-year-old Seer before her gift manifests, and she can see into the spiritual realm. However, his estranged angel brother, Matthias, intervenes on his plans. Seeing this as his way out, Viktor proposes that in exchange for leaving Thea alive, Matthias must escort him to the sanctuary city of Bethesda. Although, getting through the portal isn’t as easy as Viktor thought, and now he has to work with Matthias to protect the very girl he was ordered to kill.
