Worlds Unseen (Seventh World Trilogy)

Worlds Unseen is a book I return to again and again. It is darker then anything else I read, but it is balanced with the good. The people you would love to meet, and their story keeps you spellbound. I was charmed by Rachels wonderful choice of words and found much to highlight. She is so descriptive you feel like youve seen a movie- tho I would be SO excited for a movie of this!

This is the fourth book by Rachael Starr Thomson I have read. Each book was both exciting and spiritual. I didnt want to put the books down. Rachaels books are a must read, there is a world unseen and real..

Worlds Unseen is an epic tale of determination and triumph. Maggie Sheffield was given a scroll from a dying man—who holds many secrets. She must take it to the only person who can read it. On her journey to Pravick, Maggie encounters creepy shadows and other evil forces. It’s a good thing she has others to accompany her on her journey. She joins with the surviving members of the Council, The Ploughman, Libuse (a princess) Nicolas Fisher (a gypsy with the gift of hearing) and many more. Rachel Starr Thomson does a wonderful job by creating intriguing characters and parallel worlds. Her lyrical prose and allegoric biblical components enriches the story as well. Worlds Unseen is a story fit for a wide audience, and is definitely a must read!

When Maggie leaves home and her guardian, Mrs. Cook, to fulfill her promise to a dying man and deliver a parchment, she has no inkling of the terror that would hunt her or the world-changing events she would stumble into. But what is meant to be will be, and Maggie, though she doesn’t know it yet, is no ordinary girl. Arriving in the port town of Calai, Maggie soon becomes the target of some unsavory characters. Nicholas and his friend, Bear, come to her aid. Like Maggie, Nicholas is no ordinary boy and he’s had to cope with being different since he was small. But the real trouble is yet to come. Nicholas rescues Maggie again when an otherworldly creature comes after her. They escape and join some gypsies on their way to Pravik. Once again, Maggie is attacked by something supernatural, and they agree to travel alone, leaving the gypsies behind. On arriving in Pravik, they are thrust into a skirmish between the High Police of the Overlord and a group of angry farmers and students. Maggie meets the man she is committed to deliver the parchment to and things start to heat up. Meanwhile Mrs. Cook helps an old acquaintance rescue another special young person who is being hunted by the same evil that hunts Maggie. But all is not as it seems. Mrs. Cook and her party arrive in Pravik as well, and Maggie and Mrs. Cook reunite. As the story progresses, history unfolds. This is a well-written and engaging tale. My only negative is that my favorite character didn’t get enough page time. It looks as if that will be corrected in Burning Light, the next book in The Seventh World Trilogy. Worlds Unseen is an enjoyable story that pulls the reader in. It is populated with rounded characters who learn and grow.

Great story! Well written with only a lost me spot in a couple of places. Rachel is an engaging writer who knows how to make a story come alive. I highly recommend Worlds Unseen. I am now reading the second book in the trilogy. Superb!

Its hard to find good Christian fantasy. This one was a great intro to Thomsons talent, and is now one of my favs alongside Lawhead and Dekker. Looking forward to getting into book 2! On a personal note, I found this book a great encouragement and reminder of the real-life spiritual realm which we dont often-enough recognize.

I liked the way the story came together and how they fought a war that was not over stretched to make story longer. The story was enjoyable. Plan to read the other books

When I first started reading, the title and comer said Sci-fi, but it came apparent it was more fanticy and lore. Still a great story. Almost comes across like a religious myth, he left and will return and defeat the evil ones. I think if you can get through a few chapters, youll enjoy reading the reat!

I cant believe I forgot to review this book! Most of the bad reviews are by people who didnt want a Christian overtone to the book. To them I say, dont take away from the book just because of that! Only read this one in the series, but I am sure the series would be interesting.

I enjoyed this very much, and plan to purchase the Omnibus. I didnt know this was Christian fiction before reading, but realized it quickly. As a Grandmother of 11, several of whom are avid readers, I am going to share this with them. They will enjoy the fantasy aspect of the book, as well as the Christian allegories, and I know it is safe for them to read (which is very important to me).
