About the author
Nita Tarr
2 books25 followersWhen Nita Tarr was a child, a psychologist told her mother she was failing at school because she had ‘her head in the clouds’ - but the truth was far more alarming. She had seen an angel and couldn’t stop thinking about it. She set out on a voyage of discovery, navigating the world of creative escapades; bumbling on the stage, flitting in film, prancing through academia and writing up a storm. After chronicling this tumultuous journey in her self-help autobiography, Suicidal Christians, she began to explore new ground, writing at the intersection between reality and the unknown. The product of her fantastical endeavours is the gripping, Christian supernatural series, Battle of Beings. She lives in the Irish countryside, with her family, her cat and a few Beings.

What an amazing read.
I have been looking forward to this book since Nita announced she was writing it, after reading her first book "Suicidal Christians" which I would highly recommend also.
My anticipation was not let down. The settings in the book, war-torn warlord controlled Congo, are so alien to me. Yet, Nita does a fantastic job at drawing you in to the story, making it as if it was your experience, not just the characters.
Her characterisation is great, you can feel the elations and fears, griefs and joys of the characters, even the non-human ones. She writes about conversations and deeds of angels, demons and the Godhead, a dangerous place to wander as an author, but she does it superbly. Jesus is so well written, and, conversely, so is Satan. The things they say are exactly the things you would expect Jesus and Lucifer to say, amazing!
In this book, like her previous one, Nita deals with some heavy themes, including children being used by warlords and the goings on of the demonic realm; throughout, she handles them fantastically and believably. This book, is imaginative fiction: by which I mean the author is imaging things that could happen, which is very different from the biographical, self-help, Christian living book she has previously produced. However, unlike many authors, myself included, Nita Tarr shows the ability to be comfortable in any genre, fantasy/fiction, non-fiction, autobiography, theology, devotions etc. Certainly the sign of a fantastic, versatile author.
I cannot wait until the second one is available!

I received this book through Goodreads first-reads.
The book is Christian fiction at its finest. The author weaves a story around a topic that is very much happening today, child soldiers. The characterization is very real and one feels all that the characters are going through. Biblical themes are strongly woven into the story. The author brings out the truth of the Gospel of Grace. The Biblical truth that gets overshadowed by those who practice legalism and self righteousness. The truth of the authority that Jesus has given us to cast out demons and to call forth healing is demonstrated in this book. A powerful truth that many believers do not know they possess. The story brings in the unseen spiritual warfare that is going on around us constantly. It brings hope and comfort that God hears us and that we do have angels watching over us, guiding us and protecting us.

A very good, well-written book with believable characters and a great, original story that certainly makes it stand out from other novels in the genre. Definitely recommended!
