If you’ve read my reviews of Resistance, The King’s Scrolls, and Half-Blood, you know my passion for Jaye L. Knight’s Christian fantasy series Ilyon Chronicles.Book Three in the series, Samara’s Peril, is the best installment yet.We get to revisit all of our favorite characters from previous books, following them on new adventures and through new hardships, struggles, daily life, and joys. We get to walk beside them as they learn and grow, make mistakes and repent, struggle and rise, face danger and experience joys.Jace’s character, in particular, grows tremendously in this book. From the first chapter, Jaye L. Knight sets the stage for a complex and involved plotline that takes us through some of the darkest and brightest times in Jace’s life so far.Advisory/Content Warning: There’s a very short scene that involves torture, but nothing too descriptive and it’s kept quite brief. It also proves to be essential to plot development. There’s also an impulsive kiss.What I Liked:Elon. This part of the story was so deep, meaningful, rich, and personal. Without giving away the story, I will simply say that I have seldom or never seen this aspect of an allegory done so well. This storyline alone caused Samara’s Peril to shine above and beyond other books of its type.Jace. His character growth, personal growth, and social growth all expanded tremendously in this book, and it was a delight and a joy to read.Rachel and Elanor. Looking for sweet, delightful (yet very human and realistic) female role models? Look no further. I can’t wait to see more of these two in future books.Jace and Kyrin. Need I say anything more?
Any author can tell a good story. A remarkable author can manage to weave a story across multiple volumes with ever-increasing quality. A truly exceptional author can do all these things while at the same time weaving masterful Christian allegory that adds spiritual value to the investment of reading these stories. By this definition, Jaye L. Knight is a truly exceptional author.Our family (including a tween-ager) has been riveted to the Ilyon Chronicles from the first day we discovered it. Unlike other multi-volume works of fiction, this series manages to tell an increasingly compelling story while intensifying our investment in the characters as they traverse the many satisfying twists and turns in this book.Without giving too much away, Samara's Peril involves some incredible character development and genuinely shocking surprises that kept us on edge and flipping through pages long after bedtime. We could generally keep track of where each member of our family was in reading the book by hearing exclamations of "What?!?" and "No way!!!" coming from each of our rooms. This story was so very well done, and extremely satisfying to read from cover to cover.Ms. Knight mentions in her bio that she was inspired by "The Lord of the Rings." This comes through clearly and beautifully in the form of her well-crafted and compelling Christian allegory woven throughout these books. Knight never misses a beat as she paints strong parallels between the events of this fictional world to the person and work of Jesus Christ, and the risks and rewards of following Him.
