The Prince Warriors
is about a group of kids who are caught up in a spiritual battle in another
world called Ahoratos. In our modern world, the kids have inner struggles going
on in their lives: the brothers Xavier and Evan keep fighting, Levi does
anything but the right thing; Brianna will tell a lie and so on. During one day
they are magically transported into the world of Ahoratos where a spiritual
battle rages. A dark prince named Poneros leads his minions of chaos against
those who have been called to serve the Source who is the creator of all
things. The kids go through many trials and temptations and along the way they
the meaning of truth, forgiveness, and doing the right thing for others.
I like this book because of its nonstop action and adventure
and its good representation of the spiritual battle that goes on in our world.
The Source represents God, who calls humanity to Him; and Poneros who
represents the one true enemy: Satan. It shows important Bible lessons like not
leaning on our own understanding, but relying on God in all things. Of the
spiritual battle that goes on inside us and how Satan wishes to keep us from
serving God with all our hearts and forgiving our enemies showed up briefly
near the end. Because the story takes so
much of the lessons that the Bible speaks of and the consequences of not
following them and putting them in a fictional story, I would recommend this
book to others. Also, I recommend this book because of its action and adventure
and its cast of interesting characters facing different problems, how they
learn valuable lessons in the other world about themselves, and how they take
what they have learned back into our world.
There were at least one or two elements in the story that
are very similar to The Chronicles of
Narnia by C. S. Lewis. Kids taken into another world that is beset by an
evil force and when they get back to their own world, they are set at the time
in which they left it. Other than that and a few minor things, the story was
really good, so I’m looking forward to book 2: The Prince Warriors and the Unseen invasion. Thank you for reading
this review. Have a good day and God bless.
