The Restorer’s Son

by

The Restorer’s Son, by Sharon Hinck, is the 2nd novel in the Sword of Lyric Series.

Picking up where The Restorer left off, Susan and Mark travel back to Lyric to find their missing son who stumbled upon the gateway. Jake soon meets up with Kieran, the new Restorer, and learns about the strange new world. But Kieran is more than reluctant to be the new Restorer. He has struggled with his faith in the One for years. How can he fulfill his duty, when wrestles with his own convictions?

Told from a back-and-forth first person narrative between Kieran and Susan, it’s a successful storytelling device. Until further in the story, when Susan and Kieran are traveling together, it becomes slightly confusing trying to remember which one is speaking. But this novel was even more exciting and powerful than the first. Kieran’s struggles are realistic and moving. And I was definitely glad that this book focused more on him, as I could tell from the first installment that Kieran was an interesting character.

A powerful blend of Christian faith and fantasy, Hinck has created a fantastic world of swashbuckling heroes and political intrigue. The characters have depth and there always seems to be another story to be told. The adventures continue in Book 3, The Restorer’s Journey, available now.

  1. I love these kinds of books which talk about fantasy worlds and valiant warriors and well-described battle sequences. This book sure promises to be a good read. Recently i have delved into the fantasy genre and absolutely enjoyed it. The books i am refferring to are The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis. They are simply fantastic and caught me awestruck at the man’s creativity and imagination.
    In fact, Disney and Walden are coming up with the latest Narnia movie-Prince Caspian, this May 16th.!! It promises to be awesome by the looks of the trailor.

  2. It reminds me a lot of Narnia, though not so subtle as Naria’s Christian allegory.
    Yes, Prince Caspian is one that I’m really looking forward to next month, along with Ironman & Indiana Jones.
