The Circle was a trilogy consisting of Black, Red, & White. There were some "books of history" in the Circle that had power. These books became the foundation of the "Paradise Series." I was not aware of the "Paradise" series. The books aren't labeled as book 1, book 2 etc.... If you write in the books, your writing comes to life.... Its a cool idea, I just struggle with the implementation. Either way, you won't go wrong by reading the Circle at least. One cool thing about Dekker's writing is his use of pacing. In high action, the books tend to have short clipped sentences that have a rhythm that goes along with the action. When the pace slows, the sentences lengthen and turn more into prose. Very cool.

It sounds like you would need to read the Circle to know what's happening in the rest. Great review, I agree with your point about Saint in the desert. Saying "I believe" doesn't really help us know what he is supposed to be believing. This book intrigues me, I think I shall borrow it when I am done with another book I am reading.

Great review, I agree with your point about Saint in the desert.
Saying “I believe” doesn’t really help us know what he is supposed
to be believing.
This book intrigues me, I think I shall borrow it when I am done
with another book I am reading.
