CSFF Tour: Patrick Carr’s A Draw of Kings

Yes! The CSFF blog tour is back. Or should that be, I’m back on the tour? 🙂

For those unfamiliar with the Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy blog tour, each month we feature an upcoming or new release, handpicked from among various Christian speculative offerings. I’ve been hoping to come back for a while, but the mountainloads of real life kinda got in the way. I even missed the tour for my dear friend Donita K. Paul’s newest release, but I read some wonderful reviews. Thank you to those of you who helped support her!

I’m extra pleased to be able to review A Draw of Kings, the final book of Patrick Carr’s fantasy trilogy, The Staff and the Sword. I’ve found his storyworld mesmerizing, his characters engaging, the conflict gripping … you know, all the usual things reviewers are supposed to say when talking up a story. But seriously. I’d downloaded A Cast of Stones on ebook sometime last year, then stalled in giving it a start. Once I did, though (at the urging of a good friend), I was seriously impressed.

I’ll post more later—an overview of the first two books and what I liked about the series as a whole—so please check back Tuesday and Wednesday. For now you can browse the other tourists’ sites:
