 | Shadow over Kiriath Mar 14, 2007 |
| This was excellent! LOVED the allegory and have applied insights to my own life (for instance, that Satan will work at discouraging us and destroying us, if we don't focus on the Lord). Wish there were more writers like Karen Hancock. Kathy Tyers is another good author. MORE, MORE PLEASE! | | | | My New Favorite Author Mar 1, 2007 |
| Just adding my 5 stars to the average. Enjoyed this series more than Lord of the Rings, and at least as much as Dune and Ender's Game. Karen Hancock is now at the very top of my list. | | | | A wonderful addtion to an amazing series Dec 19, 2006 |
| These books keep getting better and better. Both the characters and the plot continue to improve. It is getting a lot harder to put these books down. compared to the others this one is better with a whole lot more romance for the ladies and some great action sequences for us boys. While I usually do not fall for romance, I found myself enjoying some of it just because the way Karen Hancock writes her romance in a way that glorifies god, the type of romance that is hard to find in a world where romance is displayed in such a gross nature. I especially love it when Mrs. Hancock describes how you know when you have found the perfect one when both if put together form a perfect bond creating one being, this is definitely something not displayed in most of American culture. The only problem is I will now have to wait 4 months till the new one. What a hard wait for the ending leaves you wanting more of this fantastic series. Good job Karen Hancock! Keep it up! | | | | Frustration!! Nov 16, 2006 |
This series of books is ranked among the best allegorical fantasy in Christian fiction today. Karen Hancock has employed excellent plot and character development throughout the series.
The only frustration is that I have to wait till April '07 for the next book! Arrgg!! :) | | |  | Hancock does it again... Oct 16, 2006 |
Karen Hancock has firmly planted her feet in the 'best of the best' in Christian fantasy (or, as the CBA people like to euphemistically call it, "visionary" fiction). Christian fantasists tend to fall on the heavy side of allegorical, hoping that the overt religiosity will save them from the label of "occult", but often sacrifice plot believability and well-developed characters as a result. Hancock does none of these (except in one minor point which is debatable) and succeeds in capturing a reader's imagination from the first page to the last.
My only problems with this book would be that there was no brief summary of the previous books so readers could reaquaint themselves on the story thus far. Since the space between books has been so long in coming, that would have been appreciated. Also, the transition at the end (minor spoiler ahead), passed a number of years so fast, I felt that I didn't really have time to appreciate Abramm's "blessed" life. Perhaps this was a fault of the editor, but I think this section could have been drawn out a little more.
The minor quibble mentioned above is a spoiler, so don't read further if you haven't mentioned the book!******** I did not see the reason for Abramm to surrender to the Matians at the end; what did it accomplish? Nothing; they still hunted the Terstans in the city and the other members of the Royal household, they still took over the Throne with their puppet Gilliard. I'm hoping that I simply missed something, because otherwise, there was no reason for Abramm to willingly seek certain torture on an Inquisition-like scale. | | | Write your own review about Shadow Over Kiriath
