This author is a real professional, and I appreciate that. Her stuff isn't embarrassing personal fantasies and rants put down on paper. It's entertainment made for an audience. In this case, a very specific audience. I admire an author who can see that writing is a legitimate entertainment business, not just self expression. :)Good Points: 1: A smooth, light reading style, very easy to read. Reading the work of some authors is like fighting your way through a swamp. But reading Molly EvangelineI love fantasy novels. If you browse through my Goodreads profile or my bookshelves at home, you'll find lots of it. Tolkien and Pratchett are some of my favorite authors. I even made an impassioned effort to really enjoy the Inheritance Cycle, almost more because of the fact that I had to support young writers (solidarity and all that) than because I was particularly interested in dragon riders (I do love dragons, let it be known; even written an entire novel about them, but that is neither
I really enjoyed this book!! The only reason for the 3-star rating is because it took me forever to get into the book, and I couldn't really connect with the characters. However, about 2/3 of the way through the story picked up, and I ended up staying awake far too late to finish it. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series!
"Truth" was a fun, completely clean, adventurous, allegory! It reminded me of the Kingdom Series by Chuck Black that I loved so much, except with a female lead and a more Tolkienesque world. The story itself was interesting, but I will admit I had trouble connecting with and believing many of the characters (though the elf brothers were amusing and Siron was cool). But if I recall, this was the author's first book, so I have no doubt her writing improves with each book she writes. Like I said,
If you love christian fantasy you'll love this book! It reminded me a lot of Lord of the Rings, but with a christian viewpoint; every christian Tolkien fan's dream! Molly is very creative with her imagination and it shows in her writing. Makilien, the main character in the story, is very courageous and brave, a very refreshing change from most other girl characters I've read about. I must say, I wish the focus would have strayed a bit towards some of the other amazing characters in the book
I was drawn into the storyline almost immediately. I felt for Makilien as she tried to discover the truth in a city determined to hide it. I love how Makilien grows throughout the book, and her decision at the end.The elves? Need I say more? These are everything you think of about elves: tall, graceful, live in the woods. But with a sense of humor. Lots of humor.I enjoyed the adventure of this book. Its a straight forward good-vs-evil, epic battle, adventure story with Christian themes weaved
I have been reading a heap of Christian and "Christian" Fantasy lately. Truth by Molly Evangeline stands out for two reasons:1) It is clean and clear of magic, the "good guys" show patience, restraint and let her figure the and the darkness is aptly presented as deception and lies. The battle is between the truth and the lie rather than between the mean and the good or something else. Nice.2) The story and descriptions of the characters and settings were disappointingly shallow. I didn't get a
