My Son's Thoughts: (from a 16-year-old perspective)
My oldest son gave me his thoughts on Bryan Davis' book Beyond the Reflection's Edge and he was anxious to grab this book when it arrived in the mail. I defer to him on this genre, because try though I may, I have a hard time working between two worlds.
See, this book lays the foundation between two worlds, one inhabited with humans, another with dragons. The dragons find a portal into the human world and abduct a few humans to breed into a sort of slave stock. The portal gets blocked for a while, but then someone discovers it and unblocks it and is able to find out that the humans on the dragon-side of life need help. There is a lot of action, intrigue and suspense before you get the the point of discovering that the portal has been re-discovered, and the story ends at a very suspenseful place!
There seemed to be a lot in the story that could be considered spiritual allegory, and that was well-done. There are many fantasy elements in the story that people will like a lot, and teens (mostly girls, he thinks but I'm not sure why) will really like these books.
Check it out, folks! If you have teens at home, this would be perfect for Summer reading!!
