 Science fiction or science fantasy ... October 27, 2008
...either way you look at it, this is a great book. It's supposed to be a YA title but adults will enjoy it too. It's a complicated book with the main characters jumping between alternate dimensions--to prevent a disastrous dimensional merging. It's the October feature for the CSFF Blog Tour (Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy). Here's a link to one of the blog tour comments which contains links to others: [...].

 It Keeps You Guessing October 15, 2008
"Beyond the Reflections Edge" was unlike any book that I have read--and I am an avid reader. For once, I was not certain exactly how the story was going to end. The good guys had to win, of course, but since it is the first book in a series, there is no telling exactly were in the "fight" that the tale will end. The various twists in the story kept me interested from beginning to end.
One aspect of this story that I enjoyed was the main character's love for classical music. It is rare to find a modern teenager that likes the work of Mozart, Bach, and others. I also liked the loving and trusting relationship between Nathan and his parents.
The main characters remain believable throughout the story. What times a character has unusual abilities, it is explained without stretching the bounds of credibility.
As the story progresses, it becomes somewhat tangled. I recommend having a notebook handy so that you can mark down the various alliances and state of being of the numerous characters.
Overall, "Beyond the Reflections Edge" is a fascinating tale of intrigue and deception, heroism and love. It might be difficult for less experienced readers to sort through the various overlapping characters but it is well worth the effort.
Wild Book October 3, 2008
When I say this is a crazy book I mean it! I do not mean that in a bad way, it is just that this book will take you on a wild journey. The journey is great and really exciting but still wild at the same time. Join a boy named Nathan who has to cope with the loss of his parents and the discovery that the world is not what it seems. A great adventure for teenagers and up. Sit back in your chair, set it to the relax stage and pick up this book. Buy this book and you will not be disappointed!
Spiritually challenging and encouraging September 22, 2008
If anything, Beyond the Reflection's Edge is more relevant to the culture today than the Dragons in Our Midst books. Although Bryan Davis certainly does a lot of what I like to call "rearranging the universe," he manages to keep the "lesson" very close to home, at least for this teen.
I could not have been more encouraged and challenged by Nathan Shepherd's commitment to purity, and I became more aware of the consequences of my choices after reading this book. I will definitely be reading the next one as soon as I can.
A great start to a new series September 12, 2008
This new series starts off with an amazing book! It is a great fantasy and I eagerly await the sequel.
