[E.G. Bella · Rating 5 out of 5]

A step outside of my typical genre with this political thriller, but I'm so glad I gave it a shot! It had enough action to keep me interested, enough meaning and deep themes to leave an impact, and enough focus on the characters and their growth to make it memorable. I thought I knew where a certain plot twist at the end was headed, but turns out, I was completely wrong - and happily so!

The Christian themes were well-done, without being too pushy or cringe-y, or the opposite, too vague to even call a Christian novel. It covered a large number of heavy and difficult topics with grace and truth, and even handled some controversial spiritual aspects in writing (such as directly hearing from God and the occasional spiritual vision) carefully, and in such a way that even I, who normally greatly dislikes those aspects included in fiction due to their trickiness, felt they were done in a biblical way.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and hope to go back and read the first one. I recommend it!

I liked book 1 just a bit more, but this one was a great ride as well. Themes of faith and dependence on God are woven nicely throughout the action and suspense that our young adult MCs go through. Some plotlines are on the edge of plausibility, but it's still an enjoyable, quick-paced thriller for teens and up.

Absolutely fabulous. Took way too many breaks from work to keep reading. Kenny's brilliance as an author carries depth, intrigue, suspense, and draws us back to the things that matter most. Shed a few tears on this one, highly recommend. Can't wait to see where the author takes us next!
