I guess this book is quite interesting because it combines religious and fantasy elements with inserting christian allegory in it. The story is well written, and has many thrilling moments. Thanks for your good review.

I’m not sure I’ve come across thrillers with a religious overtone. This makes it even the more better!.

This novel is an allegory of the Christian faith and the spiritual warfare believers encounter every day. It should be recommend to Christians to help them grow in faith

This genre isn’t my thing, but it sounds like a thrilling adventure for those who like fantasy. Although I understand the author’s motivation, I’m not thrilled with his attributing biblical quotes to fictional characters. Thank you for your thorough review!

This Christian thriller seems to be pretty unique, it contains fantasy, references to the Bible, and the aspect of spiritual warfare too. I don't think it is for me, but congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!

This writing style is easier to digest due to the author's descriptive writing of dialogues and paragraphs. The surreal settings and the divines encounters that the characters go through made it all the more fun, even though I'm not fond of religious-themed stories. Congrats on BOTD!

Thank you for sharing your review with us. I am currently looking for a lighter read, so I think I am going to pass on this darker theme for now.

A fantasy-thriller that concerns themes of Christianity is quite new to me. Honestly, I do not know what Christians would think of this, but I also believe that many are broad-minded and wouldn't mind a fictional story being written and published about the Second Coming of Christ. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

From your review, the book reminded you of Pilgrim Progress. Having read Pilgrim Progress too, I am having the urge to read this one. Thanks for your review.

While I love fantasies, I am not a Christian, so I think I'd miss the nuance of this book. So I will pass on this book. Thanks for the great review.
