Why can't I find the second book?

[Bri · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book when I read it years ago. This was a wonderful chance to revisit it! It was just as great as I remembered. The story is delightful and filled with adventure and humor.

Some things worth noting:
1) The ebook unfortunately has quite a few typos. I didn't see that problem with my hard copy of the book. The story is still worth it, in my opinion, but I do hope they fix that in the future.
2) This ebook has books 1 and 2 (book 2 had previously been published in a special edition of Oneprince, but never on its own). It doesn't make note of this in the book, but for anyone wondering, the first 2 parts are roughly book 1 when you compare it to my physical copy (the actual cut off is about halfway through the first chapter in part 3), meaning that book 2 is parts 3-5.

An allegorical retelling of the Gospel, so no surprises in the story. Possibly its worst fault is pounding in the allegory with the names the author chose, as though he did not believe his readers capable of following it. That interrupted the flow so that the story felt forced and condescending in places.
