I love this book! It is so amazing. The story is so unique and original, unlike anything I have ever read. What I love about these books, is the way she portrays the importance and power of Scripture. That is just *so* cool to me. Definitely definitely check these out! You won't regret it! ( )

The Restorer's Son>, by Sharon Hinck, is the 2nd novel in the Sword of Lyric Series.

Picking up where "The Restorer" left off, Susan and Mark travel back to Lyric to find their missing son who stumbled upon the gateway. Jake soon meets up with Kieran, the new Restorer, and learns about the strange new world. But Kieran is more than reluctant to be the new Restorer. He has struggled with his faith in the One for years. How can he fulfill his duty, when wrestles with his own convictions?

Told from a back-and-forth first person narrative between Kieran and Susan, it’s a successful storytelling device. Until further in the story, when Susan and Kieran are traveling together, it becomes slightly confusing trying to remember which one is speaking. But this novel was even more exciting and powerful than the first. Kieran’s struggles are realistic and moving. And I was definitely glad that this book focused more on him, as I could tell from the first installment that Kieran was an interesting character.

A powerful blend of Christian faith and fantasy, Hinck has created a fantastic world of swashbuckling heroes and political intrigue. The characters have depth and there always seems to be another story to be told. The adventures continue in Book 3, The Restorer’s Journey, available now. ( )
