It pains me to have to write this. I was very disappointed in what I thought was going to be a very good series for us to read. I know some will think we are out of our minds and just too picky but we can’t be picky when it concerns something we feel is against God’s Word.

I know that we have posted about reading the Dragons in Our Midst series. We loved the first two books. Colleen started the series then read them to the boys out loud. It was during that time I became interested in the series. Hooked you might say. We were excited to pick up book three Circles of Seven along with the prequel which is also the first book in the Oracle series.

Eye of the Oracle was the first book in the series I read. I got to about the third chapter and had a funny feeling that there was something wrong. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it and decided to wait and read some of it to Randy to see if he could help me. I only read the first chapter out loud and he got the same nagging feeling. A couple of the names in the book rang a bell so we decided to look them up. Yes, we researched the names in the book.

While we were looking into this, I asked Colleen if she was going to bring book three on the way to piano to read. This was when she informed me that she had to quit reading book three, four chapters away from the end of the book. She put it down. She has explained why she felt she had to do this in her blog BirdWhisper.

My husband didn’t want me to finish reading the prequel. He said that after what we read I needed to put it away and was going to have to blog what I felt since I had all ready blogged about how much we liked the books. Even after reading what I had read I felt I needed to go back and reread the first few chapters. I ended up reading the whole book. Mr. Davis is an exceptional author. His ability to weave this story around the characters he chose is quite amazing. Especially considering the characters he chose. I know to many this will seem miniscule. To us, this is big. We have forsaken anything that has to do with this type of story. Fifty years ago you wouldn’t have found the shows on television that glorify witchcraft like you do today. Disney has several programs that make witchcraft look fun and enticing. It’s dangerous. Even if it’s used in a Christian fantasy fiction story.
