Editorial Review:

Calvin Miller's Eloquent A Requiem for Love

and A Symphony in Sand now in one book.

Who better than Calvin Miller to write two rich allegories, first one that dips the rebellion in heaven into the lore of middle earth, producing a fresh tale of creation and a new telling of the genesis of the human story. His poetic pen plays off the images of light and darkness, as well as the power of love and the love of power, as he sketches the gift of choice from the Creator to the created. It is the creation story of fallen love, of impossible dreams and ancient longings, of frustrated ambition and a love renewed to endure forever.

And this is followed by the redemption story, the great love story of Earthmaker toward his creation, and of a man and woman whose very souls are tested and strengthened as their simple longings for happiness are diverted by the call to participate in the cosmic drama. As the young maiden Trouvere struggles with the wonder and reality of a heavenly proposal that will bring unspeakable joy in the midst of devastating pain, will her betrothed withstand the archenemy's onslaught of lies?

When I looked at the cover I thought it would be a boring book. It turns out that I liked it alot. It is about a Graygill man who's x best friend takes over the continent they live on. He turns alot of people evil. There are horrible battles and distructin. This is a cool 11 year old kind of book

Interesting and entertaining but lacking depth 3 out of 5 stars.

Having been inspired by Mr. Miller's "Singer Trilogy," I was surprised to not like this book more than I did. It did not engage my interest enough to make me desire to read the sequels. The story was entertaining and the writing is very good. It just seems to lack the underlying message appeal of the Singer trilogy. The characters and theme seem difficult to relate to and lack the depth I had come to expect from this author. Interesting and good but relative to the author's other books, not Mr. Miller's best.

Interesting 4 out of 5 stars.

I found the first book of this trilogy at a Christian Light bookstore, and always wondered why. It seems to espouse some Christian virtues, but nothing specific. It's a nice series, pleasant to read, though nothing spectacular. It's too bad I can't find the third book and find out what happens...

Editorial Review:

In the land of Ren, Graygill heroes Raccoman and Velissa meet the mystical King Ren, whose knights are locked in a war of betrayal. Many of the knights have left the palace, taking on new and hideous forms, and have challenged Ren's right to rule. Complications arise when the King disappears and his nephew usurps the throne.

Not his best effort 1 out of 5 stars.

Although Calvin Miller's Singer Trilogy is an masterpiece, this new novel is one to miss. The writing is amateur and stilted. The characters are one-dimensional and the situations unrealistic and unbelievable. Major changes occur in the characters lives instantaneously, and everything is happily-ever-after. The symbolism is confusing and the message is absent. The most interesting character is the bad guy, and we never do find out why he's bad, not do we feel particularly happy when he meets his well-telegraphed fate.

I'm disappointed, and surprised that Mr. Miller's editors let this one through.

Editorial Review:

Snoqualmie, a valley east of Seattle, is the fertile setting for a new fiction trilogy from esteemed storyteller Calvin Miller, who adds a daring dash of fantasy to magnify his view of Christian truth.

In this first book of the trilogy, a soon-to-be-divorced Jewish psychiatrist is counseling a homophobic murderer who has trained his German Shepherd to kill. The next victim is to be a New Age feminist whose environmental pull has pushed the killer’s hot buttons. Amidst the drama, a demented priest and his wolf companion emerge as Christlike symbols who take these characters to the edge of faith, bringing forth a peaceable kingdom.
