THE NEW WORLD Reviewer Comments

This book takes a fresh look at the story of Lucifer. It introduces a rich lore from a theological perspective with many questions raised about Heaven and Hell.

Lucifer cast to Earth, then he imprisons an angel and finds himself challenged in ways he never imagined. I was pulled in from the first page and enjoyed all the twists and turns immensely.

The fifth book in Brandy Marks seven-part series weaves a fantastic tale of a universe inhabited by humans, Fae, demons, angels, and dragons, to name a few.

The imagery is exceptional, opening up a world with a vast landscape and characters development - seen throughout in shifting points of view. The writing is tight and clean. The dialogue transitions between very modern to "biblical speak.” In the context of the story, its fantasy, after all, and in a time neither here nor there, it actually works.

Marks shines when she is piercing the heart with a flick of the tongue or breath to the ear; it's no wonder so few are able to resist. She effectively instills a message about the eternal war between good and evil as well as hope and redemption.

My hope is others will read and enjoy this novel as much as I have.
