Book description from publisher: Nine years have gone by since an unlikely hero named Rom Sebastian first discovered a secret and consumed an ancient potion of blood to bring himself back to life in Forbidden. Surviving against impossible odds, Rom has gathered a secret faction of followers who have also taken the blood-the first Mortals in a world that is dead. But The Order has raised an elite army to hunt and crush the living. Division and betrayal threaten to destroy the Mortals from within. The final surviving hope for humanity teeters on the brink of annihilation and no one knows the path to survival. My reaction: I enjoyed the first one and found the sequel entertaining. I did get caught up in it and all of it's twists and turns. The premise of a world where people don't have access to all of their emotions (except for fear) until some discover a way to get them back is thought provoking. Parts of it strongly parallel the story of Jesus in the Gospels and it also made me think about how much of a parallel it was and if the "Jesus figure" would truly redeem the world in the same way. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Centuries have passed since civilization's brush with apocalypse. The world's greatest threats have all been silenced. There is no anger, no hatred, no war. There is only perfect peace...and fear. A terrible secret was closely guarded for centuries: every single soul walking the earth, though in appearance totally normal, is actually dead, long ago genetically stripped of true humanity. Nine years have gone by since an unlikely hero named Rom Sebastian first discovered a secret and consumed an ancient potion of blood to bring himself back to life in Forbidden. Surviving against impossible odds, Rom has gathered a secret faction of followers who have also taken the blood-the first Mortals in a world that is dead. But The Order has raised an elite army to hunt and crush the living. Division and betrayal threaten to destroy the Mortals from within. The final surviving hope for humanity teeters on the brink of annihilation and no one knows the path to survival. On the heels of Forbidden comes MORTAL, the second novel in The Books of Mortals saga penned by Ted Dekker and Tosca Lee. Set in a terrifying, medieval future, where grim pageantry masks death, this tale of dark desires and staggering stakes peels back the layers of the heart for all who dare take the journey. The Books of Mortals are three novels, each of which stands on its own, yet all are seamlessly woven into one epic thriller. No library descriptions found. |

This is the second book in "The Books of Mortals" series. It continues the story of Jonathan but now he is almost at the age where he will become the Sovereign. Saric has returned and is trying, yet again, to make himself Sovereign instead.
There is battle, romance, surprises, death and disbelief. And, as always with Ted Dekker, there is a beautiful, intricate dance between good and evil. He always amazes me in the way he can weave so much depth into his stories.
This series is definitely one I recommend! However, I always recommend reading his Circle series first because he often has cameos from it in his other books. I'm looking forward to finishing the series with the final book, Sovereign. ( )
