An absolutely wonderful story. I laughed, cried and cheered! It reveals the full love and mercy of God. Intense and fabulously written. Three cheers for Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee.

again ted dekker hits out of the park. Just a great wrap up of the mortel series.I found myself yearning for that great love that was shown in the book

Was also somewhat let down by the conclusion to the Circle "trilogy" prequel series, but I can't pinpoint exactly what I felt was lacking. Still enjoyed the story, the allegory, the characters and would absolutely recommend it to Dekker fans. Maybe it's due to the ending not being concrete since it can be read as a lead-in to the Circle books.

***spoilers below***
Purely as a work of fiction this was an interesting book. However, as the work of two self-identified Christian writers it was a disappointment. This despite the fact that they have provided a powerful allegory of the idea that what we experience as reality in the fleshly plane is a poor imitation of the spiritual realm that we see now only as through a glass darkly. I say this because the book ends in massive carnage and Jonathan's blood is not potent enough to transform the Dark Bloods. Feyn, though transformed, is still a ruler over a hierarchy requiring a man of war, Roland, as her "security" chief. Having read the other two books in the trilogy I had hoped for a more satisfying resolution than the blood-soaked birth of a new Sovereign presiding over the old system--new wine in old wineskins, if you will. But there isn't so much new in Feyn's wine, which may be fitting for, as Jesus said, "... no one puts new wine into old wineskins."

I also would like to hear this book on CD.
