A Light into the Darkness
by Shelly Goodman Wright
I really wanted to love this book. It has so many promising elements - danger, love, good vs. evil, a quest for truth and identity, and a hint of magic/the supernatural. The characters are fairly lovable, but the evil characters' motivation for being evil isn't developed. I am a Christian, but the blending of explicit Christianity with made up supernatural events didn't really work. When dealing with Christian principals in literature you either need to pick allegory or reality. This blend was awkward. This wasn't Narnia or real life, which made it hard for it to either ignite my imagination or make me feel connected to the story. Overall, interesting idea though
