There, she discovers an unsettling–and forbidden–talent for crafting colors that enchant all who behold them, including Abascar’s hard-hearted king, an exiled wizard, and a prince who keeps dangerous secrets. Auralia’s gift opens doors from the palace to the dungeons, setting the stage for violent and miraculous change in the great houses of the Expanse.

Evaluation Of Books Auralia's Colors (The Auralia Thread #1)

I really don't do fantasy - Narnia is about it, and mostly because Lewis's snark amuses me - but this is good stuff. The writing is good, the story is significant without being overtly allegorical, and it ends really well. If you love fantasy, this is a must-read (and it's being followed by three more). And even if you don't, it's worth a shot.

Slightly overwritten, but erring on the side of poetry can be refreshing in this genre. I'm chalking it up to editor error and looking forward to the next installment. Another thing I'm seeing more of in (post)modern fiction is the breakdown of hero and villain - characters take sides, but the author takes great pains to let everyone know the antagonist's weaknesses and/or well-motivated reasons for their hurtful behavior. On some levels that's great - very humanizing, true to life - but fantasy

I'm never quite sure what to expect from fiction by an author of Christian faith... for every wonderful reading experience (like Stephen Lawhead's Celtic Crusades or C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia), there are numerous slogs through preachy & cliched schlock. (Insert obligatory reference to the Left Behind books here.) It's a little like Tim Burton films - you never know when an "Edward Scissorhands" is going to bloom amongst a field of weeds like "Batman Returns" and "Planet of the Apes."

Auralia's Colors, published by Waterbrook Press, is the first fantasy released by a specifically Christian publisher that I have read in quite some time. However, I kept hearing good things about it, so when I came across it accidentally while browsing through Chapters a couple of months ago, I decided to pick it up.When I started reading the book I could tell right off the bat, even if I hadn't heard rumors of this already, that author Jeffrey Overstreet shares some of my own favorite books and

Jeffery Overstreet has charted a different course for his fantasy tale. Perhaps in the shadow of J.R.R. Tolkien, to some extent but truly his own. Auralia is a very different leading character, who wraps herself in mystery, love, passion and wonder. Greed, envy, control, fear the list of dark human behavior is long in this tale. But portrayed in a way to bring pity and compassion.Adventure, drama, conflict, war and tragedy are wrapped up neatly together. A page turner and best of all a series.

http://www.rantingdragon.com/auralias...Auralias Colors is Jeffrey Overstreets first installment in The Auralia Thread, a Christian-inspired fantasy series. Found by two worn-out criminals in the woods when she was just a baby, Auralia soon grows into a beautiful, otherworldly young woman who has the magical power to weave gorgeous cloths out of only the forests bounty. She charms her poor community with gifts and good nature, and she enjoys a special connection to the wilderness. Unfortunately,

This was a very... lyrical book. I feel like clarity in writing was sacrificed for poetic language; I didnt always understand what was going on nor the significance of what just happened because the writing too allegorical/cryptic. I feel that 2 stars isnt really enough (because the writing was beautiful) but 3 is too much (the bogged down writing left me disinterested). So, overall its a 2.4 for me. I wont be reading the sequels.
