I'm sure they can agree that if their faith in God can be swayed by Young Adult Fantasy they are probably not as strong in their beliefs as they thought. If anything, this is a wonderful way to inspire insightful discussion with your kids about the "big questions" of theology and spirituality. I found the books...”

“Wow, these books get worse the more you read. How does a person go from leaving one world by a secret gate to 6 months later having a private army ready to go to war with God, and multiple worlds submitting to his will and word?

I need something upon which to hang my suspencion of disbelief, but this is author is too lazy to take the time to give it to me. I finished it, but I wish I could sue for the last time I spend on the last 1.5 books to be given back to me!”
