When Captain Chase Leighton
finds out that his wife has gone missing, his experiences a variety of
different emotions. As Asylum: The Circeae Tales continues, Leighton will find
himself going to extraordinary lengths just to get her back. As the plot
unfolds, Trista, Leighton’s wife is discovered, however she no longer goes by
that name and no longer has the beliefs that her friends and family have held
close for years. What happens when regaining someone is almost more difficult
than losing him or her completely?
From the beginning, I was
hooked. I’m not much of a sci-fi reader but I love sci-fi movies so I assumed
that this book would be a great read for me. I was not disappointed. Bazer
knits together a plot that is both heart wrenching and insightful. While there
are obvious points when the message of the book is a little overwhelming, the
majority of the story is filled with subtle references to a Higher Power and
His control in the lives of the people. The sentences flowed smoothly and it
was easy to get caught up in the story of Chase, Trista, the Legacy, and the
Ghosts.
Aside from the entertainment
value of the book, there is an inspiring message and one that we can never hear
too often. There is always a plan. Even if we don’t see it, there is a reason
for everything that happens.
Would I recommend the book
to others? Absolutely. However, I would consider starting at the back of the
book with the definitions for some of the more difficult people, places, and
things in the book. For those that don’t want any of the mystery revealed too
quickly, consider using the back of the book as a resource when a specific idea
doesn’t make sense or isn’t clear. (I had trouble keeping track of all the
different people, their names and their jobs on either side of the spectrum.)
Thomas Nelson Publishing provided me with a copy of
this book in exchange for my honest review.
