To be honest I really debated reading the end of this trilogy. It just didn’t hold up to the Singer trilogy that I truly loved.
His use of prose is still beautiful, and allows the allegorical message to be seen with a new light, even though it’s an old story which all of us have learned in Sunday school.
This book though has taken a turn that was not expected, going back to the time before the garden, the universe and tells the story of the war before existence and the fall of Lucifer (or in this case Krystar)
It tells of the heartbreak, the love and the hopes of the creator, and then ties beautifully into the the singer, the song and hints that that was the plan all along, to allow those of Krystar a chance to come back into the fold.
Worth the read if you love poetry, faith or Calvin Miller.

"Heaven's not a plot of earth....Heaven is relationship" is the greatest message of this book. Although we will not know the true words of the actors in the struggle for Heaven, Calvin Miller's imagination helps to add to the Biblical story. I find myself seeking to read the word of the LORD after each of these books. I do believe that these 6 books are written out of order. I am going to reread them in the chronological order to better bring the story to life.

Well written, but in my opinion he takes too many liberties in his portrayal of the angelic realm. Filling in the blanks, which comprise at least 90% of this realm, can lead to people assuming his creative picture is the real one.

The final book in the series deals with the events before the fall of Satan and the creation of man. A very interesting series that provokes the imagination and the spirit.
