The Gift
Teo commits himself to finding a copy of the New Testament but refuses to turn his back on what he considers his first mission — to protect Ana. Book 2 of the Chiveis Trilogy, adult dystopian fantasy by Bryan Litfin.
Bryan Litfin · March 2011 ·
for adults
Pure evil pitted against sacrificial love and God’s truth.
Ana and Teo have chosen to leave their home and families rather than deny Deu — the Creator God whom they have come to know and love.
After an adventure that almost takes Ana’s life, they arrive in Ulmbartia where they encounter others who believe as they do. But just like them, their new friends do not possess a copy of the last part of the sacred writings.
However, some of the traditions of their faith have survived, though what these things mean, none can say.
When circumstances separate Teo and Ana, they take wildly different paths. He commits himself to finding a copy of the New Testament but refuses to turn his back on what he considers his first mission — to protect Ana.
While I wasn’t immersed in the story, I still enjoyed it and am glad I had the chance to read The Gift. Overall, I thought the book was a fine sophomore novel that showed stronger writing than the debut it follows.
This one will be a book those who love fantasy and who want a story with a Christian worldview will enjoy. I suspect there will be more Litfin fans coming on board because of The Gift.
