Customer Reviews

Slower than the first two, but don't discount it on that fact!

Last of the Nephilim picks up right where Enoch's Ghost (Oracles of Fire) left off. Literally. There's no getting around it this time. Bryan Davis writes in his author's note that readers are recommended to read the Dragons in Our Midst series and the previous two Oracles of Fire books first. Do it. You'll need them. I mentioned in the title of the review that the book does move a bit more slowly than I'm used to from Bryan Davis. That's okay, though. It gives this wonderfully tense feeling of the roller coaster ratcheting up the chain lift. Then you get to the end, and the roller coaster has stopped looking over the edge of an enormous hill. That's Last of the Nephilim, but don't think of it as a bridge between two books. It's a great story, very worth the read. More deep characters who learn relevant lessons. One complaint: The next and final book doesn't come out 'til next year!

A book that i can't describe!

This book was amazing! I didn't actually think it'd be as good as the rest, but there I was, on my bed, eating, going out, always constantly reading! It was fantastic and it was even better than the rest of the books!

Giants, Dragon, and Warrior Heroes

"Last of the Nephilim" is the sequel to "Dragons in Our Midst" from the best selling "Oracles of Fires" series. In this masterly crafted Christian fantasy novel Bryan Davis writes comparable to Stephen Lawhead. His characters are reminiscent of Narnia. This strong high fast moving adventure story involves the reader in emotions of conflict, resolution, fear, danger, and inspiration. The plot pits giants against dragons as they invade Second Eden. The forces of good battle the forces of evil in a bitter conflict. I especially appreciate Bryan's clear reinforcement of Biblical values and Christian character throughout his writing. For any new readers of the series, Davis recommends that since the story line extends earlier adventures leading into this multi-dimensional land that "Enoch's Ghost" should be read prior to "Last of the Nephilim." Bryan's books have become favorites of young readers in the genre of Christian fantasy. I am sure "Last of the Nephilim" is on the way to becoming an important influence as it joins the other best selling books in the series.

Can't wait for the next one!

A talking dagger? Bones as instruments of rebirth? Flying a plane into a dimensional portal? Yes, Bryan Davis is at it again. Picking up where Enoch's Ghost left off, Last of the Nephilim effortless weaves old friends and new characters into a gripping tale of betrayal, trust, justice, mercy, friendship, enemies and more. Surprises and prophecies emerge at every turn as Second Eden is threatened by evil. Readers of the previous books will be amazed at how Davis finally answers the question about Bonnie's wings without revealing her choice from Tears of a Dragon.

A place on MY shelf!

"This book was AWESOME! Definitely deserving of a place on my bookshelf. I read it under the covers after my lights were supposed to be out it was so good! It wraps up where Enoch's Ghost left off and I can't wait to read more of the adventure!" Adam age 14
