Evan Stafford comments on Crisis I have enjoyed every book in the Deveran Conflict Series, and this entry is no different. Author Robert Luis Rabello demonstrates a great command of the English language and a fearlessness in his writing style. The setting in his books is definetely unique in the realms of most fantasy writers out there. He deals with grand themes of revenge, family, love and forgiveness, and he tells them in a very entertaining way. There are fairly significant religious themes to his work, but not too much so that it overshadows the action and drama that unfolds.
In Summary, if you are looking for an epic story that challenges the typical fantasy mold, definetely give this book a read. H. Lisa Stevens wrote the following about Crisis
This is the third book that I have read in the Deveran
Conflict series, and I enjoyed reading it. As the third book in the series,
this book expands upon characters introduced in the previous two books, but
there is enough background information on those characters to assist the reader
in understanding them. Each book in this genre goes beyond what you'd normally
consider fantasy to delve into spirituality and morality, and Crisis is no
exception. The way the author reveals the divergent views of the inner lives of
the principal characters adds a psychological layer not normally seen in this
genre. Although this is a paperback book, don't expect it to be a piece of
fluff to read. It is obvious the author has a wide grasp of the English
language! This book deals with adult themes and science-fictionesque technology
set in a medieval society. Expect to encounter a fair amount of sexuality and
violence as you read. However, also expect to deeply know the characters as
they explore romance, family ties, and friendships in this book that will keep
you turning page after page through the twists and turns of their crises. Janie Squier evaluates Crisis If you have ever actually been in battle- or wrestled within your own soul
exercised great power- or been oppressed by it
longed for acceptance- or met rejection
had deep faith- or none at all
You know "Crisis."
You know that "us" and "them" may not be so easily determined
deepest love, and shallowest hate
rage, and peace . . .
And you know that you wouldn't have traded that wild ride away
for anything else in the world.
Feel that adrenaline rush? Heart racing?
Smiling at the memory? Glad you survived? Wanna do it again?
Cheering the good guys on, and soundly booing the bad guys?
Read Robert Luis Rabello's "Crisis", and enjoy!
