I picked up Kingdom Above The Cloud just because of the first line of the back cover blurb. The idea of the Fruits Of The Spirit battling it out with the Seven Deadly Sins in a fantasy world intrigued me. I do have to say right off that this story was, at least to me, a little more on the allegory side than the fantasy side. I'm one of those people who has a hard time picking up on allegory in a book but Maggie Platt's writing style is such that I picked up on it fairly quickly which left me enjoying the story more as I had a bit of and idea what to expect.
While I found the story to be a bit simple for an adult, though there were a few older YA scenes, it's one that I think might make good reading aloud material for parents kids. There's a lot in there that parents can use for teaching moments, things like Satan's use of our doubts and anger against us, to subtly lure us down the wrong path, that God is big enough to handle those doubts, that when we have questions and fears, when we feel like God is silent, that's the time to run TO Him. Hmmm, I also think this tale might make a pretty good audiobook.
I think my favorite thing about Kingdom Above The Cloud was Maggie Platt's very imaginative descriptions of her characters and their physical features. Nearly every one is different, from navy blue hair to lemon yellow with an aqua stripe to brown, not to mention everything from blue eyes to purple to black. And the markings that indicate their allegiance are quite striking as well.
Kingdom Above The Cloud, author Maggie Platt's first book in her Tales From Adia series, was a fairly quick read and a much different take on fantasy than usual. If you have kids or grandkids in the right age group you should check this story out.
(I received a copy of this book from the author/publisher. All opinions are entirely my own.)
