Not bad... that's about the nicest thing I can say about this book. The book has wonderful application to the Christian, considering Demons and Angels are talked about openly and from a Christian worldview no less, but it is rather simplistic in its character development. The plot is very simple and has no significant twists, and is almost completely obvious just a few chapters into the book. Usually your guess on what will happen isn't right, and thus it makes the book interesting; in this book, your guess is right. The first time you guess.After having read many secular fantasy novels, this one doesn't stand up, though it finds a place on my shelf thanks to its strong Christian thematic. Simple, but an entertaining read from the Kindle on the way home from work every day. fantasy with Christian themes fairly well done,with the exception noted that Somers needs a better editor,if he had one at all. Many plural nouns contained apostrophes for no reason and several misspelled words. Nevertheless,the idea of a separate spiritual realm is clear in this story as is the point that even specially gifted persons can not use their gifts under their own power. Disappointing ending, did leave me wanting to read the rest of the trilogy,as much was unresolved. Ending was disappointing in that it was too abrupt, as the "Storyteller" apparently just got tired and made us wait for another day. I will read the next volume to see if defeat can be turned into victory(I don't like unhappy endings.)

Good book. Reminds me of a Christian version of The Warded Man. Very easy to read.

I don't quit books very often, but I just could not continue reading this.
