Christian perspective

The book is not related to the Christian way because of its dark magic and evil and it did not really have anything related to God. To make the book in a more Christian way is to have a holy bible in the kingdom and everyone must obey the rules of the bible and I would not recommend this for Christians.

My thoughts

I think this was a very good book because the Author put words that made the characters sound so heroic and evil. This book is for people who like history in the early times and fantasy or myths mixed with it and also this book setting is around the mid evil times so if you like magic and witchcraft, sorcery this is the book for you.
