This one tore at my heart in a way that the others didn't.
Some business first. Telbat offers two bonuses at the end of each book, one I never read, the other I read with delight. The first is a glimpse into the minds of the "bad guys." I don't read that because all you have to do these days is pick up a book, turn on the TV, or social media, or watch a movie and you are inundated with the minds of bad guys. Enough, thank you. The one that I read happily is a bonus short story about characters that will soon be finding their way into the fold, so to speak. I love them.
This book delves a little deeper into the heart of faith and some of the members of Eric's settlement. In this installation, a profound despair of an unimaginable nature is imagined, touched on, and explored, but with patience, gentleness, loving-kindness, and great faith at its core.
Eric and Joel's faith and skill, as trackers and hunters, is put to the test as they confront several severe situations and must find God's way to work through them. They are dealing with some pretty nasty bad guys and the consequences of their atrocious choices.
I wrestled a little with certain aspects of this book, but ultimately while I did cry, I also laughed out loud and finished with a huge grin on my face.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book, and you know I've already got book five open on my Kindle so guess what I'll be doing right after I hit "post."
