About the author
Theophilus Monroe
152 books289 followersTheophilus Monroe is a fantasy author with a knack for real-life characters whose supernatural experiences speak to the pangs of ordinary life. After earning his Ph.D. in Theology, he decided that academic treatises that no one will read (beyond other academics) was a dull way to spend his life. So, he began using his background in religious studies to create new worlds and forms of magic-informed by religious myths, ancient and modern-that would intrigue readers, inspire imaginations, and speak to real-world problems in fantastical ways.

DNF, calling it at about 8% into this collection, a little less than halfway through book 1, due to meandering plot and painful dialogue primarily. I glanced at the openings to the rest of the books, and was not inspired to jump back in. It's very wordy and not very organized and I hate the cat, which was just... what? It didn't help that I'm utterly unable to think of the protagonist as religious, and he apparently preaches at a church in the subsequent books. My disbelief refuses to be suspended. It's staring at me until I finish typing this review so we can move on to a more interesting read.

Don't get stuck in the drama of dogmatism.
What I loved most about this series is Casper's growth, the need to remove himself from the dogma of his chosen religion, denomination. Being a Pagan, myself, Casper's choice of denying the dogma and expanding his spiritual path just goes to show, that at the root of all paths, are essentially the same. No one is right just as no one is wrong. Theo, I have to thank you for this undertaking. I just hope that others who read it, take in the underlying message and apply it in their own lives.

Wow not what I expected but so thought provoking. If you consider yourself spiritual, maybe raised in religion but as you grew up finding your self disillusioned . Read this for myself at least it pulled so many things together and makes more logical sense. I found it very powerful while still being entertaining and catering to my fantasy leanings. Really do your self a favour persevere read the whole series .

I've only finished the first book, Who Let the Dogma Out, but I HAD to leave a review!!! The rest will follow quickly..but oh wow! I started this book late last night (just before 12!) and I had to force myself to put it down to sleep!
I have read all of Theo's books and have loved each and every one of them and having read most of Michael's books too, I was beyond excited to read what their collaboration would look like! And I was not wrong in my anticipation, one of the best collaborations I've read.
It was so entertaining and humorous, that at times, I couldn't contain myself and was laughing out loud, much to my husband's astonishment! Casper is such an enjoyable and cool pastor, a recovering alcoholic who questions the Church institution's man made rules. His unconventional approach has the Council of Churches gunning for him, they have lost sight of God's word and love for humanity, instead focusing on their staid interpretation of what a Church should be, much to Casper's distress. Events occur that has Casper questioning the very fabric of his profound faith. Getting stabbed whilst trying to save a woman, sets off a chain of events he could never have fathomed. He feels and sees the changes in himself after the chance encounter with Layla, who saves his life. Everything starts to unravel from this point. And the sudden communication with Angus, the cat, is beyond hysterical! I love the religious references, so many are so apt in the world we live in, and illustrates no matter who or where we are, fundamentally, loving our neighbors, however different from us they might be, is right and God's will. Not withstanding the fast paced and thoroughly entertaining magical storytelling, I found the book very profound as well as thought provoking, not a usual response to a fantasy novel! The interaction of various species, the magic and the plot are right up my street! So delightfully well versed and brilliantly depicted, this series has me already in it's grips!

Different... But still great!!!
This was a different type of book than I'm used to reading from LMBPN. It was magical, of course, but thought provoking as well. There's a message in these books that makes one think - as it should.
I enjoyed the characters immensely!! I loved Magnus and Clarence - was hoping for more of Clarence actually. There was definite character growth from book to book. The story was engaging, a bit of a conundrum trying to figure out the prophecy. The message intrigued me. It kept me reading late into the night when I should have been asleep!!!

Elven prophecy was very enlightening
I really enjoyed the story and what it is trying to accomplish. In this it really brought me back to my roots. In some cases I really found the story to dispute things like do ministers really swear that much. I really could have put the book down because of it but curiosity kept me reading and I'm glad I did. So don't put the book down and you will find a great story. At least it's the way it seems to me

I enjoyed the series but I found that there was a lot of religious content that I thought was unnecessary and did not add to the story. The characters were interesting and varied but a little scrambled with too many variations of one species in particular. This should have been listed as strictly Fantasy when I found it in Sci Fi. I loved the animal characters (cat lovers beware - the kitty attitude was amazingly accurate). Clarence could have had a larger role.

Thoughtful
In this series, Theo and Michael introduce us to an imperfect hero with a tender heart who is deeply reflective and circumspect about the challenges and adventures he finds himself in the midst of.
The story is a nice balance of humour, adventure, fantasy and gently introduced concepts intended to make you think and ponder on the nuances of the human condition and faith verses religion. I found it a fun book to read.

A very enlightening series
After just a few chapters of the first book I was hooked. I would read until my eyes literally hurt because I wanted to find out what was going to happen next. I would definitely recommend this book to all of my friends. I hope others will get the chance to read the series and enjoy it as much as I have.

This series was so much fun! I've been reading a lot of Anderle's collaborations this summer because they're long and I go through books fast, and this is probably my favorite so far. It has the signature humor, but also a lot of heart. Casper is a great, complex character who anchors this exciting story, and the religious themes were very thoughtfully done.

Absolutely Fantastic !!!!!
Oh where do I start.I loved the interaction s with Agnus who enlivened the book.With the religious interaction between all the characters. It is a wonderful series of books with a spiritual caste to it energizing the religious dogma but in a beutiful sense.

January 28, 2023Boring
This is the most boring and preachey book I have ever read. The story could have been told in a quarter of the time it took to read this book. It should have held a warning at the beginning and I would not have wasted my time even starting it. I do go to church
So I am not against religion i just don't need it pushed down my throat like that.

The Elven Prophecy Complete Series Omnibus
Wow! This series was so captivating that I had a very hard time putting it down for anything. Caspar was very human in his frailties and beliefs, even when he encountered Layla, and even Jag. I am looking towards reading more from these authors.

Another brilliant series
Well, the height of easy going fantasy adventures but at the more in depth end of the genre. I really like these slightly more extended books and of course they are exceptional tales full of great characters as usual.

too much preaching and pontificating, not enough story and action
I’ve read a few of Anderle’s series and enjoyed them all. This one, not so much. Minimal storytelling and action, way too much (shallow) philosophy and monologuing.

Great series. I really loved having a minister as a magic user as the central character. It was thoroughly thought provoking and inspiring.

Too much psycho babble
The story line is decent, possibly intriguing, (I couldn't bring myself to finish it). Way too much theological psycho babble.

A minister in the wrong place at the right time finds himself in the center of an Elven Prophecy.
Struggling to find his way through wars and rediscovering who he is now versus who he has always been he keeps revisiting old friends and proverbs that used to keep him grounded during his struggle with alcoholism and narrow-minded church bishops.
The moral boils down to: Don't lose the message in the Dogma.
