Book Review of Showdown (Books of History Chronicles: Paradise, Bk 1)

reviewed on + 271 more book reviews


Ted Dekker is becoming a formulaic writer... This book starts out exactly the same as Blessed Child: an orphan boy in a monastery from infancy, who is very smart and a key factor in the battle of good and evil. Since I liked the Circle series, I finished this book but have no intentions of reading any more in the Books of History series. His descriptions of battles were graphic, bloody and gory, with the victims being children. Just don't have the stomach for this type of story. There were too many scenes that repeated previous ones I've read by him, as well. Time to move on... D.
