I understand that this is a novel and so some leeway can be taken.
But several issues, caused me not to finish it.
The 'cute' constant calling God
Pops, daddyio, etc. etc,
and calling the angles, grumpy etc etc.
Got tiring very fast.
The idea God loved her, and made her that way,
could be slightly true,
but there is also the need for respect, and awe, of God.
Plus, she kept 'lusting' after some of the angels
and so on.
Just not for me.

This book follows LONG after the The End series. Nearly 1,000 yrs after. Satan is about to be loosed on the world, following the millennium of peace after the Tribulation and Rapture. This book is pure fantasy and not as "preachy" as the The End series, so many more people may like it because there isn't a lot of scriptural verse, etc.
Allie, who we met in the The End series, is now the Mistress of the Remnant Warriors. She has been in charge of training the other Remnant Warriors and knows Satan's release is coming very, very soon. Frustrated her warriors aren't taking their training seriously, she goes to her Heavenly Father, "Pops" (snicker, yes, she's still as snarky in the Millennium as she was in her teens) to vent about their lackadaisical attitudes. What happens next brings A LOT of action that has poor Allie doubting herself.
I have to say I really enjoyed this book, much more so than the End series. It's, as I said, action packed, but also very humorous. As we watch Allie try to get the lead out of her fellow remnants, and teach God's Angels to loosen up.
Added to the fun is Nick, who Allie held directly after his birth during the Tribulation, who has developed romantic feelings for Allie. Too bad for him she's his boss, and that she still considers him the baby she once helped deliver, even if was almost 1,000 years ago.
She was, way back when, then married to Jaden. But because he was a martyr, and she remnant, they were not allowed to carry their marriage into the millennium. Jaden now reigns with Christ, while Allie is a warrior, and "never the twane shall meet". It makes it awkward when Allie runs into her "Ex" while now lusting after the once infant she helped deliver. She has no idea that Nick is in love with her, and can't understand why he reacts so jealously to her interactions with others. I'm curious to see where this romance goes. I never got a good feeling of chemistry between Allie and Jaden in The End series, they never quite meshed. But, it's gotta hurt not to be allowed to be with him during the millennium. She's never fallen for another man in the past 1,000 years.
Will the remnants be battle ready for Satan's release? Will more Angels fall? Will Nick breach her hearts defenses? I can't wait to find out!

Fun Fantasy, Scary Fantasy
While the “End” series was more scripturally realistic, just as the title suggests, “The Releasing” is fantasy. It’s a tongue in cheek representation of the millennial period. I had a little difficulty at first at Allie’s irreverent attitude toward the Father but as I allowed myself to perceive the fantasy of the series it was easier. I love the humor in this series!

A gutsy and brilliant view into the millennium
After having followed her characters into the Millenium . The future of the remnant warriors is here . Where most authors end , she takes a dating and thoughtful view into the one thousand years after the Lords reign . This is s almost read as a companion tot the series or as a stand-alone series but in highly recommend reading all of her prior works

A great series continues...
This Christian fantasy, The Releasing, continues the series. Beginning The End. During this part of the series, V. J. Dunn explores what the Millinium might be like up to when Satan is released from the pit to begin his last short time. I'm looking forward to reading the next book, The Tempting.

I wish that I could say that I liked it as much as the previous books. Unfortunately I can't. Much of it was repetitive and kind of childish. I wanted so much to like it. I am not sure if I will buy the rest of the series. I am sorry to have to say that.

Unusual take
This is a very different !lol at end times. Still a most worthy read. Makes one think how hard it will be. Enjoyable characters. Will be interesting to see how this all adds up.

So COOL!
While not the fanciest word, this book was just SOOOOO COOOOOL!! What an awesome, unique and FUN portrayal. I absolute loved it and can't wait for book 2!
I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone 16ish or older due what I consider sensitive subject matters.

It's Lucifer's turn.
A 1,000 years have past and Lucifer and his minions have been release from the Pit. Allie and the Remnants have their hands full! Great job. Thank you.

Great Reading
I would recommend this book to anyone that likes Bible prophecy. Author adds reality to story that incorporates Bible prophecy.
