The Warrior and the Code
Isaiah yearns for manhood, yet sin tugs at him from every angle, sowing seeds of doubt about the sacred convictions inscribed in the Scroll. A sinister new weapon emerges from the shadows, prodding Isaiah and his family into an odyssey fraught with peril—a journey from which none may return.
Their path leads to an ancient castle, its timeworn stones echoing with forgotten secrets. Within those ancient walls lies the key to vanquishing their adversary, but will the followers of the Great King find it in time?

4.5 stars.
I really liked the other books in this series and I really liked this one too. However, for whatever reason, it seemed different than the other books. I feel like it lacked the medieval feel that the other books had and the overall "vibe" felt different.
I did like that the characters seemed to have more personality (mostly Benjamin) and I enjoyed the jokes, wholesome sibling teasing and that there was more interactions and light hearted conversation between the siblings.
There were a couple things I disagreed with though in particular this one. The main one was that *SPOILER* when Isaiah sees the "abyss" in the end he and the angel talk about God's justice ect. In part, this is certainly true. But God does not send people to hell, their sin does. God created a universe where action equals consequence. If God is mercy, love and help, if you deny that what do you have? The opposite. I always picture a life boat. God is the life boat and the person is in the water being pulled down by their sin. If they don't accept God (the life boat) their sin will sink them.
So, in short, I feel that the conversation was not accurate or exactly biblical. *SPOILER END*
My only other "complaint" was that some parts were extremely over dramatic such as when Isaiah decides to "become a man" it was extremely over dramatic and kind of cringy or Violet seeming to burst into tears at almost every turn.
Still, this was an excellent read with a creative and exciting, yet wholesome, storyline. This particular book in the series is about boys and men in particular and the godly character qualities that ought to be displayed in them. As a young lady, I still found it inspiring and good.

A powerful book about biblical manhood, which I found inspiring even as a girl. Powerful, rich, epic, and it ends with the most beautiful and moving scene I have ever read. Cannot wait to read the next book in this wonderful series!
