Review: Lost the momentum with lies
Rating: 3 out of 5

I loved the first two books in this series. And I still love the emphasis on trusting God when it's hard, and when we don't understand. I love the contrast between Jon and David. One is an apparent failure, shunning the limelight, conflicted about everything because there's nothing in it for him, he thinks. The other is grabbing for all the power and accolades he can. Then there are the two kinds of power -- one true, and strong, and good, and one manipulative and hurtful. But I just didn't see the inventiveness in this book. I didn't see the twists and surprises. And the ending seemed very Deus ex Machina, with so much unresolved. "It's all over"? Hardly. Is there more to come, or is the series over? What about Sam, for instance? It's quite a disappointment. It makes me sad, because the first two were so well done.
