Série As Crônicas de Aedyn
A terra de Aedyn é uma região encantadora, um paraíso para além de toda imaginação.
Espécie de universo paralelo à dimensão dos humanos, desconhecido por todos – exceto pelos jovens Pedro e Julia. Os dois irmãos, durante uma estada na casa dos avós em Oxford, no Reino Unido, jamais poderiam suspeitar que as férias tomariam um rumo totalmente inusitado.

Numa bela noite iluminada pela luz, Julia e Pedro são atraídos por um chafariz no quintal da casa. Ao andarem pelo jardim, Julia tropeça e cai na água, puxando seu irmão consigo.
De maneira misteriosa, os dois vão parar em um estranho mundo habitado por seres fantásticos, marcado por estranhos ruídos e gente fora do comum – como um monge de 500 anos de idade que fala de uma antiga lenda sobre duas crianças que um dia viriam para salvar Aedyn de seus opressores.
Esta é apenas parte do enredo de Escolhidos, da série “As Crônicas de Aedyn”, do renomado escritor cristão Alister McGrath. Dono de grande erudição, com formação teológica e científica, o irlandês McGrath transpõe para Escolhidos uma carga enorme de criatividade, suspense e espiritualidade, na medida para agradar ao público infanto-juvenil.
Quando Aedyn é tomada de surpresa por misteriosos senhores que confiam apenas em sua própria razão, a dupla de heróis é levada a agir, mesmo sem saber em quem confiar, se no velho monge, nos misteriosos encapuzados ou nos escravos silenciosos que guardam um estranho segredo.

Em sua luta pela verdade e pela justiça, conseguirão Pedro e Julia encontrar coragem suficiente para enfrentar seu próprio destino?
Uma coisa é certa: eles terão de descobrir quem realmente são, lutando batalhas que os deixarão desesperados antes que possam conduzir a outros numa revolução libertadora. ( )

Written somewhat along the lines of C. S. Lewis' 'Narnia' but a little less engaging due to its much stripped down plot and simpler writing style.

I love reading Alister McGrath. I wanted to love this book. I wanted to give it five stars.

But I can’t.

The plot is pretty simple, and is familiar to anyone who has read fantasy before. A world in trouble, children from our world transported magically to save it in fulfillment of an ancient prophecy, one of the kids is very sensative to the magic of the place and the other isn’t ….

Halfway through this book, I realized that McGrath must have been reading a lot of Narnia lately. That was all I could think of as I read the book — “Wow … this sounds like Narnia.” And that would be a high compliment if the book measured up to the Narnia books. But it falls just a bit short; it seems like McGrath is trying just a little too hard to be C.S. Lewis. And nobody can be C.S. Lewis.

This is one of a very few books I’ve gotten lately that I just couldn’t bring myself to finish; there’s not enough there that I really care about. Very disappointing. ( )

Good and enjoyable but nothing special.

Very reminicient of C.S. Lewis - parallels to The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe abound, as well as a few sections that seem more remincient in not such a direct way to Out of the Silent Planet or Perelandra.

It was however - not as allegorical and more specifically spelled out than Lewis's works, so those who do not wish to read a religious story may want to avoid.

Overall not a bad read - though I am glad I got it for free when it was free for the Kindle rather than purchasing it myself. ( )
