Stephen Lawhead has been my hero since I read his Arthur trilogy when I was a young teen. He did what I thought was impossible: he meshed fantasy with Christian theology, seamlessly and realistically. He didn't create a new world that broke the rules of ours, but meshed a fantasy one to ours that adhered to rules of our world and a supernatural one. But this book Lawhead makes it quite clear that he is a theistic evolutionist and leaning much more towards the deistic side of things. In most books, I can, and do, ignore the underlying theology of the author. But for Lawhead I can't do that, for my Hero's have no failings. And unfortunately, that says as much about me as it does about Mr. Lawhead. So on to this book. Sadly, it was pretty much on par with the previous 3. It just kind of plodded. That is really the best I can say for this series. It doesn't disappoint, it just stolidly moves on. Kind of like a big dumb cow. There is one more book to go, coming out in Fall/Winter '14, but after that, I think I might be done with Lawhead. A Hero fallen is one of the worst things ever. :-( " (

Next installment in the Bright Empire series.

I've read the rest of this series, and even for me, the beginning was a bit slow and confusing. It picks up though, and the rest of the story was just as mesmerizing as the rest of the series has been. I enjoy the original plot, which is something we don't see a lot of these days. I believe Mr Lawhead has definitely improved as an author, as I didn't really enjoy his first works, but I have enjoyed this series and also the King Raven series. Anticipating the next one!

The quest for answers�and ultimate survival�hinges on finding the cosmic link between the Skin Map, the Shadow Lamp, and the Spirit Well.

The search for the map of blue symbols began in a rainy alley in London but has since expanded through space and time and includes more seekers.

Kit, Mina, Gianni, Cass, Haven, and Giles have gathered in Mina's 16th-century coffee house and are united in their determination to find a path back to the Spirit Well. Yet, with their shadow lamps destroyed and key pieces of the map still missing, the journey will be far more difficult than they imagine. And when one of their own disappears with Sir Henry's cryptic Green Book, they no longer know who to trust.

At the same time, the Zetetic Society has uncovered a terrifying secret which, if proven, will rock the very foundations of Creation. The quest for answers is no longer limited to recovering an unknown treasure. The fate of the universe depends on unraveling the riddle of the Skin Map.
