The Light of All That Falls by James IslingtonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This series is what you get when you take a less developed wheel of time, with slightly less binary in terms of evil (the elder powerful enemies believe they are doing things for the right reasons and not just for power). Add some time dilation, and then a handy dose of CS Lewis's religiosity. While I liked some of the plot and the timelines, I found myself cringing hard at seemingly Christian themes throughout the whole book. the name "EL", the god vs satan binary, the importance of believing in an afterlife, always telling the truth, does having a god prevent the characters from having free will, and lastly why doesn't "EL" intervene on behalf of the people when there is evil in the world. It was a bit too much, but if you have finished WOT and a few other stories and want something in a similar vein... try this out.
