Unique this book is not. The story of the battle between good and evil is the dominant theme in the history of mankind. Alliances, both false and true; battles, fierce and bloody; and powers, mystical and mighty, are the same elements found in Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, etc. etc. etc. Why do we read the same type of plot over and over again-with different names and different locations and a few unique traits among the characters? Because this story is the essence of humanity. Casey Telling has created some unique characters in this tale which has no dearth of violence. At times it is hard to associate someone who delights in the conquest of others with goodness, even if they are on the good girl's side. Violence may be a necessary evil, but it is not something to be glorified. Personally, I do not enjoy gore, but I enjoyed this book in spite of the ample presence of graphic descriptions of decapitations, dismemberments, etc. The importance of the Creator versus the Dark One conflict precludes any subtlety to the spiritual aspect of this novel. This is definitely a case of the Go(o)d guys versus the (d)evil guys. Into the Blood of the Sun is a self-published book, but it is better than many traditionally published books I have read-including the quality of the editing. Donald James Parker author of All the Voices of the Wind
