Why read it?

2 authors picked By Darkness Hid as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The quintessential YA Christian fantasy story in my opinion! Jill hits every fantasy beat perfectly, and I particularly loved the obvious care she put into the details. The result is a world that feels ripped from the pages of history, yet it’s overlaid with spiritual themes, supernatural happenings (bloodvoicing, anyone?), and allusions to Christ that will resonate for followers of Jesus. When I want a story that has overt and uplifting Christian themes, I reach for this series. 

Although in the fantasy arena, this is a great story of someone becoming a hero just because he was willing to do the right thing and fight the injustice around him. The story was so captivating as I became immersed in a new world with forces I as a reader had to understand along with the main character of the book. It made me feel I was a part of the journey with him. Very captivating.

From Randy's list on mystery with a science fiction feel.
