Light of Eidon was an entertaining diversion, if a bit predictable.

Christians may find this book quite inspiring—even on a fantasy world there exists God the Father, with His Will for our lives from which we can run but not hide, and his Son come to dwell amongst us in human form so that we may know Him and so that He can Atone for the great debt we owe His Father (debt incurred by trying to deny Him and His Will).

Hancock adds a twist to Christian allegory that C.S. Lewis left out of his Chronicles of Narnia, namely the idea that there are multiple peoples of faith who share some beliefs and scriptures in common. The existence of these multiple faiths can make it difficult to discern the truth faith from false ones, but Light of Eidon is surprisingly ecumenical for a Christian allegory in that a theme it raises is that people from different faith traditions can nevertheless come together, in part because of the commonalities of their divergent backgrounds.

After reading this book, however, Christians on Earth might come to wish that the Christian God offered such visible signs of his existence as does Eidon.

Readers of this review might be interested to know that I came to read Light of Eidon not because I heard about it and found it interesting enough to purchase but rather because it was available for free in Kindle format. Despite having found Light of Eidon enjoyable enough to read it through completely, I was not hooked so much as to want to purchase subsequent volumes in the Guardian-King series.
