I feel the mere fact that you didn’t throw BY DARKNESS HID aside says something, but I respect your opinion. <br /><br />I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There were Dekker and Peretti books I couldn’t finish, I was so bored (lots of them I loved too!). . .not with Jill’s. <br /><br />I haven't read a lot of "Christian Fantasy". I am no expert on YA Christian Fantasy, so I will take your word for its poor state. <br /><br />IMHO, it will be books like Jill’s and publishers like Marcher Lord that will breathe life into all fantasy. <br /><br />Thanks again for your comment :0)KM Wilsherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11250774015974420209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809157568233077453.post-63563685829022081492010-06-21T08:07:33.136-07:002010-06-21T08:07:33.136-07:00I didn't participate in the blog tour not yet ...I didn't participate in the blog tour not yet being a member. However, I do plan to write a review on my blog, having read the book only a few months ago. I agree that the book should be high on the list; I was able to read through it without once coming to a place where I wanted to lay the book aside either from disgust or despair. In fact, it held my interest to the end. I really liked it. But I don't think it is the elite fantasy, on the level of Lewis or Tolkien. Jill Williamson may have the potential to become such a writer, that remains to be seen. I think the positive reaction to her book is a reaction to the poor state of YA Christian fantasy being published today. And that is fundamentally the reason why YA Christian fantasy is having a difficult time finding recognition by publishers today, secular or Christian.Thomas Clayton Booherhttp://www.oerkenleaves.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809157568233077453.post-54414592897142243622010-05-19T20:18:53.570-07:002010-05-19T20:18:53.570-07:00:0) Yup. . .stayed in the fog only long enough to ...:0) Yup. . .stayed in the fog only long enough to be inspired, Jill!<br /><br />My pleasure to tour your book.<br /><br />Yeah, probably a few perfect fantasy stories out there ;0)<br />Bdh is certianly a fav series!KM Wilsherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11250774015974420209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809157568233077453.post-28734493505802948712010-05-19T16:01:41.104-07:002010-05-19T16:01:41.104-07:00Well, when I finished reading By Darkness Hid the ...Well, when I finished reading <i>By Darkness Hid</i> the first time I said I just might have found a new favorite series, so I'm right there with you, KM.<br /><br />But think about all the good stories out there.
