I loved the book. Some of the feelings and settings were familiar to me as my great grandmother was a Norwegian girl baptized into the church in Minnesota. Her certificate is in Norwegian I can’t remember exactly where but it was the Lutheran Church. She told stories about Nisse, Trolls, and stuff like that. Made her own Christmas decorations, tons of cookies, and little nisses and stuff for us at Christmas. What she wasn’t was bitter or against fun. She always enjoyed singing and laughing and she didn’t object when my great grandfather started growing hops and brewing beer during prohibition.
Enough about me. The book was fantastic. It evoked a sense of the time and place that rang true to my own mind. The people were all people that I knew and loved. I could even see myself in some of the characters. The questions that a Christian has to answer for himself are there and answered honestly without any deception.
The book reminded me of CS Lewis showing struggling Christians real flawed people living normal lives in a fallen world. I loved it and will read it again. I liked it much better than Wolf Time (I think I was in a little more ‘bloodthirsty’ mood when I was reading Wolf Time). I am going to go back and give that one another go.
Thanks for your writing. I really enjoy finding Christian fantasy/sci fi that I can enjoy on many levels.
