Talk about a page-turner! Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to read this book because you won’t want to put it down. With twists and turns and not knowing who to trust, this story was great fun to read.

I loved the way that Portia now has a friendship with Gath, the gage (what we would think of as a policeman or maybe even Gestapo) who was always around when she was getting into trouble in The Revisionary. And how she told him a riddle each night while they were in the Satellite (prison) camp was a great touch. It was even sweeter when after she got out, she continued to write a riddle in her journal each night in memory of him.

I could tell when reading the first book that the characters from this atheistic society would end up meeting Jesus. The author did such a beautiful job of sharing the Gospel through the testimony of a man who was a prisoner simply because he refused to give up his faith. There was nothing preachy about the way it was done.

The story is not done at the end of this book. I am hoping that the next book will come out soon because I can’t wait to find out what happens next.
