The Pillar of Light: The Milana Legends (Part one) is an interesting YA novel, which creates a captivating, imaginative world.
The Good
- Fast pace
- Many different actions scenes or intriguing moments
- “He poked it a second time and there was a whoosh as Nani sank into the soil. Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh. Kalin, Alexi and Chan were swallowed up by the ground.”
- Many different actions scenes or intriguing moments
- Use of Christian themes and undertones
- There is an obvious parallel to the Christian belief of a higher being
- These themes and undertones do not slow the progression of the plot
- Great story
- The book begins as a simple mystery, but everything becomes very complicated once the story reaches to another world.
- I believe people not young adults will enjoy this book. I was skeptical whether I would enjoy it, but I did.
- Interesting world
- I enjoyed the world which is explained in detail and, in my opinion, exceeded the world of Narnia.
The Bad
- Too many characters including minor characters which weren’t integral to the story. There were many main characters.
- Since this book markets as a YA Fantasy, I imagine a few kids will have a hard time following every different character.
The Unsure*
- Anna Travis would do well sticking with YA Christian Fantasy, but she has not continued the series since completing the second book two years ago.
*My opinion: what I didn’t care for or do not prefer. This will not lower a rating unless it overly distracts from the story.
