My Review:
This one was pretty good!

What I most enjoyed is that God is getting visibly involved, and not only to his loyal followers. Angelic interventions, Chaim and Buck's mission, the battles, and the crazy cliffhanger. Even mystical abilities and manna make an appearance. On the other hand, the sacrifices are much more poignant, including the loss of a few prominent characters from the earliest pages.

Anyhow, this one was much more exciting than the last two, but it definitely leaves you hanging, though not in the "I wonder if they'll make it" sense, unless the reader hasn't been paying attention. The biblical quotes reveal the answer for the specific targets subject to said cliffhanger. And based on the literal nature of the story to this point, I'd say it's only a matter of describing how.

Overall, I enjoyed this story. Folks who've made it this far will probably dig it, too. It's a good bit more exciting than the last two.

I borrowed this from a friend.
