Read it in TWO DAYS!

Thomas Williams' first book (CROWN OF EDEN) was wonderful - fun and unique characters that don't always make the right choices. I found I could relate quite well! It also taught me to relax: God's will is going to be accomplished despite the plans and attempted manipulations of His Enemy. This book was even better! After deciding to see how the Master of the Universe would use every evil plan of the "bad guys" to accomplish His plans, I sat back and fully enjoyed the creative way Mr. Williams has chosen to show us the love and enjoyment of the Master of the Universe in the characters' lives. I could not put the book down. There are many truths from scriptures in this book. For the person who says this is a "sunday school lesson," I say, give me more sunday school lessons like this!!!

Spellbinding! Tom Williams does it again!

This is one of the most captivating stories you will ever read. It is the tale of a young prince driven from his homeland by usurpers and a lovely woman whose ruined life brought her to the brink of a horrifying death. Williams unfolds the story in such a gripping way that you will resent the intrusion of duty when you are forced to put the book down and do other things. I'm an early riser (5 AM most days), and I found myself reading this novel until 2 AM, then getting up at 5 AM and continuing to read. And it isn't just a beautiful love story, though it is that, every bit. You see into the hearts and souls of the people in the story, understand the dilemmas they face, and their thoughts and feelings as they make their choices and live out the scenes that bring the story to the pages. You may see shadows and outlines of difficult choices you have made in your life, and which you may yet face. Read this story. You'll thank yourself for choosing it.

Long-awaited, and even better than the first

When I read The Crown of Eden, my biggest disappointment was that Williams had not yet published a follow-up book. Finally, here it is, and it's even better than The Crown of Eden.Welcome back to the Seven Kingdoms. It has been a year and a few months since The Crown of Eden's end, and a certain king (who will remain nameless because I don't want to spoil anything for those of you who haven't read the first book) is a new father and continuing his quest (which will also not be mentioned, for the same above reason). This book follows-up on the celebrated heros and advesaries of The Crown of Eden but focuses on two new characters and their plights. Just as The Crown of Eden had wonderfully deep discussions about fate verses free will and the ends justifying the means verses doing what is "right", The Devil's Mouth has incredible truths balancing mercy and justice, suffering and forgiveness, and temptation and blessing. Williams does a beautiful job bringing his characters to life and pulling his audience into their world and perils. I have several especially memorable sentances underlined in my copy. This story is about a commoner named Evalonne, whose life is so terrible that at one point the only reason she does not give-up and die is that she fears going to hell. Opposite her is Prince Lanson, of a lesser of the Kingdoms than Meridan, whose purity and chivalry rival Aradon's. The Kirk, a religious establishment that rules by fear and condemns sinners without mercy, is a strong presence in Prince Lanson's kingdom. Ultimately, Lanson must decide whether the Kirk is right or wrong in its practices and teachings, and his choice, influenced by the fallen woman Evalonne, changes the fate of all of the Seven Kingdoms. Weaved into the story are adventures, deceptions, prophecies, joys, and gut-wrenching hardships. This is a glorious read for any fan of fantasy, middle-ages, chivalry, adventure, or philosophy. As a side note, I strongly recommend that when you get this book, you DO NOT READ THE BACK OF IT. It spoils a few things and misrepresents the fullness of this book.

Masterpiece!

The sequel to THE CROWN OF EDEN, Thomas Williams has again shown his Godly talent of telling a wonderful story that engulfs you into his world of fantasy. This beautiful love story, set in medieval times, shows the contrast between legalism and the wonderful grace that is given to us in this fallen world. You will definitely feel you have been to hell and back, so be SURE to read every page, as you don't want to get stuck in Hell! Will be waiting for your next book!
