I could say so much about this book, but I will start by saying that I didn't really enjoy it. It was slow-paced, unoriginal, and the style of writing was mediocre. I remember when I bought this book and was really excited to read it. Finally I started it. Almost immediately I was disappointed. The more I read Christian Fantasy, the more I realize how it is all the same. I've read some Wayne Thomas Batson and looked at other books similar to them, and most of these book have very similar plots: there is an evil ruler of an innocent kingdom, and a Jesus-figure appears to overthrow that ruler and restore peace to the kingdom. Obviously, there are many plot points that differ from book to book, but everything I've read in this genre is too much the same. This book just proved it for me.I don't think I'll be reading the next books in this series. Reading the first one was a waste of time, let alone a four book series. I'm not even curious about what happens later. I just want to read Shakespeare or Dickens, now. All in all, I definitely don't recommend this book. There are hundreds of better things to read. Reading Bryan Davis work is like eating chocolate. Addictive, a little intoxicating and makes you feel downright wonderful. Besides Donita K. Paul, Bryan is my second favorite fantasy writer. His creativity knows no bounds and I feel like a little kid every time I see a new book - I have a strong urge to giggle and jump up and down. Starlighter was certainly not an exception. I waited for my review copy anxiously and once I had it in hand, I dove right in. Bryan deftly wove two stories in to one, bringing Jason's and Koren's worlds together in a fast paced, seamless tale of adventure and bravery. I can hardly wait for the next book.
