A friend recommended this to me. When I read it, my jaw dropped. I thought it must be too good to be true. But it is. The plot is very complex. I especially enjoy how The Blackthorn Key makes you think outside the box, and see that a simple question can have many answers. This story is about letting the truth shine through its cage, no matter how much pain it causes. Christopher Rowe is not rich, famous, or very skilled. But he manages to push through, even with the Archangel's shadow just behind him. He is very talented. Almost as talented as Kevin Sands. But he makes mistakes. Gets scolded. Feels shame, anger, even cries. He's human. It does mention murder and blood, so if you'd like to avoid reading about those things, ignore this book. But tweens will love this. Anyone will. Thanks for reading this, and follow the wise advice of Master Benedict: "Go back to sleep."
