If you are a long-standing, Mr. Davis fan, you&#8217;ve probably suspected this book has many&nbsp;parallels&nbsp;to <i>the Circles of Seven<\/i> and it does. The characters even state it. Though this book is very action packed with plain crashes and&nbsp;looming nuclear warfare and venomous demons, I love how much character growth is in it.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: white;\">Matt struggles with his hatred for his foster Darcy, a conflict foreshadowed through out the previous books of the series, and his romance with Listener is welcome. Lauren seems the most human as she goes on her journey despite her impending doom. Abaddon&#8217;s characteristic alliterations are a neat quirk. I love how sweet Jared is with his wife Mariel and how Darcy grows throughout the story. I liked that my ultimate favorite character Sapphira was in it much more.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" height=\"172\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/victoriagracehowell.com\/staging\/6258\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/CaptainAmerican-IUnderStoodthatReference.gif?resize=320%2C172\" width=\"320\" \/><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">If you&#8217;ve read the other books of the series,<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">&nbsp;you&#8217;ll be thinking this the whole time.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\">The bad guy&#8217;s plans are original and they&#8217;re formidable and creepy foes.

Bonnie&#8217;s faith is even shaken due to the trials. Many dilemmas are given through the story that strain the characters&#8217; faiths and really bring out who they are. The author brings up different branches of sin through each door which acts as an eye opener.

Hatred is a cancer that will devour you. It consumes its victims like a raging fire.

It&#8217;s the opposite of love and as love can cause great good, hatred can cause great evil. I feel like in much of the media today hatred is often painted as fine as long as the hatred is toward evil people. Though we should hate sin, we shouldn&#8217;t hate anyone even if they did horrible wrong to you. That is the struggle Matt has to deal with and one I myself have also.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><br style=\"line-height: 20px;\" \/><\/span><span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20.790000915527344px;\"><\/span><span style=\"background-color: white;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">What I didn&#8217;t like:<\/span><\/span><span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20px;\">&nbsp;I enjoyed this book for the majority, but I had a problem with Darcy, a prostitute saying, &#8220;You fool!&#8221; It seemed out of character.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20px;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20px;\"><\/span><span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20px;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Content Cautions:<\/span>&nbsp;This is one of the darkest of this author&#8217;s books so take in account there is material not found in many of his other books. I would rate all of this at about PG-13 except for one sequence which may be R.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20px;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20px;\">Darcy almost swears and the bird is implied to be given some to some of the characters. Homosexuality and marijuana use is mentioned. A sequence where skeletons hand over their glowing hearts to Arramos is chilling. Characters break into a sex trafficking camp and one of the characters is a prostitute. Details about both of these are mentioned at times though not in great detail.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"background-color: white; line-height: 20px;\">The most disturbing sequence was a part at an abortion clinic. Premature babies are shown in trash bags or trash cans and it bothered me a lot. I had to take a brief break from the book before continuing. Perhaps this is because I&#8217;m very sensitive to this particular topic, but it is something to keep in mind.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Despite the one graphic sequence this is my favorite of the <i>Children of the Bard<\/i> series. It has the most personal tension coupled with a lot of outside conflict. The anticipation of the next doors drive you to keep turning pages.
