Yes | No“Unlike the first one, the modern world and Lyric don't immediately collide and mess with my suspension of disbelief. Therefore, I enjoyed this installment much more. In fact, I found myself jumping right in and not waiting to leave the story. It's turned into an excellent epic fantasy.”

Yes | No“Kieran was always my favorite character in The Restorer's Journey, namely because he's scrappy and smart-alecky. Now, he's the Restorer, and besides having to battle Cameron, the Council, and the king of Hazor, he's also battling the One about His choice.
In all of the Sword of Lyric series, I think this is my favorite!

“When I looked at this title I thought Susan had a child in the other world. Boy, was I wrong!”

I enjoyed following Kieran on his spiritual journey, even though I wanted to smack him a few times. I can't wait to read the third one, I'm sure it'll be just as good!”

A friend gave me this copy of The Restorer's Son, and I had it sitting in a stack of books to be read. Several times, I'd reach under it to choose another title. Finally, I gave in; "I must read this one," I mused. So, I did not have a good attitude about the book.
Surprisingly, I liked it! Yes, it's a good read, and mind you, I haven't read the first in the series. The characters are well defined. Kieran is a round character with plenty of faults for people like me to relate to. It's awful to say this, but I love his temper. He questions God and why things must be done in a certain way at a certain time. There's a good fight scene, but I can say no more without revealing what I should not. Susan, a nurturing mom, does what I might do and acts as I might act under the same circumstances. There's a couple of realistic roll-their-eyes teenagers in the novel. The plot moves along at a reasonable pace, with a good story line. Yes, it's a good book. I'm glad I finally picked it up.”
