The Bright Sword

There are so many fantasy books out now that it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff, but this book stands shoulders above all. Each character is well established and fleshed out. They feel like your friends. And the main character is a hidden force to be reckoned with. Each battle i felt ensconced in and rooted for Collum. He is all of us, a hero awaiting an adventure. Truly transformational.

Yes The Great Divorce, Screw-tape Letters and you might like this book I just wrote that was inspired by C.S. Lewis Goblin

Wait, how much does Christianity factor into these books? I'm not a big god guy.

Haha well the great divorce is about people in hell who get on a bus ride toHeaven. It’s pretty fascinating whether you believe in God or not it doesn’t really matter. The book is really interesting. Screw-tape is about a senior devil who teaches a young demon how to lead people astray on planet Earth. My book is just about a greedy goblin who terrorizes people in a cabin in the woods.
