The Prophecy of the Seventh Elizabeth is a sweeping work of fantasy/soft sci fi from a Christian worldview by Jarrod L. Edge. If parents want a book to give their kids that reflects solid values and points toward the Lord, they will be well-served by this.
Prophecy of the Seventh Elizabeth comes in two books, and I’ve read them both. This is my review.
There is a massive world-building project at work here. The story sweeps from an ancient scribe at the bedside of a dying apostle to a modern world under threat of demonic alien invasion. From the FBI agents to the superheroes to the journalists, the author invests in every character.
Honestly, I feel like getting to know this fictional universe now is an investment in books to come. In the first book, the writing wasn’t really there yet. In the second book, the author’s skills had grown substantially. I have confidence that, in books to come, the crafting of the stories will become even more impressive.
This is an explicitly Christian book, which is half of why I like it. The good guys pray, they read the Bible, and they walk out what it means to follow Jesus. That’s what makes it such a great book for parents to give their children, or maybe even read with them.
Overall, Jarrod Edge has done a good job of creating a fantasy universe in which you can lose yourself while remaining secure that you won’t have to encounter language and scenes that might take you out of the story.
