Shout Out to Maggie Platt - Author of Kingdom Above the Cloud (Tales from Adia #1)

-
Wanted to recommend a book I just finished...

Grace and peace!
Greg


FULL DISCLOSURE: I worked with the author many summers ago.

With that said, what a wonderful read! Christian contemporary fiction is a difficult genre to begin...Christian fantasy even more so. How do you transmit concepts of sin, sacrifice, and redemption in Christian theology without coming off preachy? Ms. Platt found a way and nails it with this novel. Although the beginning chapters take some time for world-building and character development, the last quarter of the book flies by with action, suspense, and some twists for which I was not prepared. Looking forward to the next one!
