Well. I must admit I did return this to the library without finishing it. I kept reading and reading, almost to halfway through it just hoping for something to pick up and excite me. But it didn't... even when I got to the Otherworld. [a:Steven Lawhead] just did so much better with [b:Hood|2073686|Tales From the Hood (The Sisters Grimm, #6)|Michael Buckley|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255704105s/2073686.jpg|2078934]. With [b:Hood|2073686|Tales From the Hood (The Sisters Grimm, #6)|Michael Buckley|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255704105s/2073686.jpg|2078934] I was enraptured and in love with all the characters and events and could not read fast enough to get what was coming next. But perhaps it is because Hood was from last year (2006) where The Paradise War is from 1991, maybe Lawhead has just gotten better. Who knows. Either way, I do not really recommend this book. There are too many other, better things out there to read.
