I’m gonna get into the Raven series. I like the story line of the girl finding this guy in this dreamscape and seeing his light. It reminds me of a testimony on KZread of a girl who used to be in a coven and one day as this coven was cursing Christians and this girl was able to see them from their hideout and saw how they couldn’t do anything to these Christians when they prayed and she finds out about Jesus and she ends up giving her life to the Lord after meeting him in her 2nd near death accident ❤

I'm currently writing a futuristic fantasy novel, (I guess some people might call that sci-fi), that was inspired by Chuck Black's The Kingdom Series. I challenged myself to see if I could take a book of the Bible and craft a story that included something from every single chapter from that Biblical book. I'm keeping which book I chose a secret to see how many people would be able to figure it out, (the Biblical book I pulled from has more than 15 chapters). I'm 2/3 done with writing the novel but don't really know what the general target age would be since it's a heavy, emotional story. I'm pretty happy with the plot and love how I've been able to include something from every chapter of the Biblical book so far. It would be cool to eventually get a short review of the novel, (I hope to self publish it in October), but again, I don't want to put people through an emotionally heavy book if they're not ready for it. If you or anyone else is interested in knowing more, let me know.

I love the way you review books, so concise and thorough. It makes me wonder what you'd say about my book. Is there any chance you'd be interested in reading my recent Christian / Medieval / Sci-Fantasy novel, The Respian Man? It's on Netgalley and all the other places (I'd even send you a free physical copy if you wanted). If not that's OK, you probably get inundated with requests from authors, so I totally get it, but I thought I'd ask. It's not a romance novel, so it may not be 100% your ideal genre.

My favorite fantasy series would probably be The Chronicles of Narnia, and a close second would be the Circle Series by Ted Dekker, (I didn't like the final book in the Circle Series however). Currently I'm reading The Wingfeather Saga, and while I thought the first book was mediocre, I really enjoyed book 2 and 3. I'll have to check out some of the ones you've mentioned.

@@Celestria I highly recommend the Circle Series but you can completely skip the 4th book. It tries to make the story neverending, ending at the start of the first book, but it didn't make sense and messed with the beautiful ending of book 3. I would give the first Wingfeather book 3/5 stars, and the first half of the second book was about the same, but at about the halfway point it gets really interesting and from there I would give the rest of the series, what I've read anyway, 4.5/5 stars. Have you heard of or watched the Wingfeather cartoon series that came out at the start of this year? It's one of the few movies/shows I would say is better than the book. They've only completed the first season so far which covers the first book.

Yes, all of the books and series in the video have romance! Hmm, I'm not sure which Acktar book to say specifically... cuz the characters start off in book 1 meeting and getting to know each other and eventually, that grows into a romance, but it's gradual, you know? So I don't remember exactly where it begins. Maybe more so in book 2? Not sure.

im a little unsure if i should a character in my text based game story that is homosexual cuz it really doesnt glorify god directly (and pls no for the record i dont want a extreme answer from anyone saying it is always wrong to add it or its always ok to add it, bcuz i know its neither of those ditches...) i mean i just want my story to be real to the player and honest and talk about real things without being condemned,yes i met a man last year, yes i believe in jesus, yes i slept w him to times, never saw him again, and im not a homosexual nor do i condone that lifestyle today in any shape or form but does that mean its automatically wrong to include in the games story as a part of my lived through darkness and also something that helps me deal w it cuz im still kinda living in denial or shame not every day or week bcuz it happend, bcuz i was lonely, bcuz i was divorced three years ago and never had a woman in my life...?!

I think it depends on the context. As long as it's not presented as being okay and as long as it's not just thrown in there for no reason, you know what I mean? I think if it's in the game, it should be made clear that it's wrong and there should be some sort of redemption for that character. That's my personal thoughts on it anyway, i hope that makes sense.
