With his trademark descriptiveness and exceptional knowledge of ancient Norse mythology, Alan Early has brought the Father of Lies chronicles to a dramatic and positively thrilling conclusion. If you have wondered (as I have all along)- why Arthur Quinn? - what is it about this kid? - this is the book that reveals the reason. And you’ll never see it coming. The carefully knit relationships throughout the series are carried through here to great effect, and we are given unique insight into the bonds of friendship and family, as well as conflict. Every action, every emotion is tangible without being overworked.
Early has painted a textural picture of the time, place and people that you don’t so much believe as feel. The action and story line storyline weave together and dip and dive to create a positively remarkable read. The reader is pulled along in the story with expert timing and movement through to a most dynamic end. Arthur Quinn and Hell’s Keeper will keep you hooked and on the edge of your seat. It will leave you wanting more; , but sadly this is the end.
The Father of Lies Chronicles not only brings Viking lore into the forefront of children’s fantasy literature; it sets it firmly in a contemporary world. Be prepared, this is quite simply one of the best novels; in fact, one of the most stunning series, you will ever read. An incredible conclusion.
Of course, if you haven't already, you must read [[Arthur Quinn and the World Serpent (The Father of Lies Chronicles) by Alan Early|Arthur Quinn and the World Serpent]] and [[Arthur Quinn and the Fenris Wolf (The Father of Lies Chronicles) by Alan Early|Arthur Quinn and the Fenris Wolf]], both by Alan Early. I also strongly suggest [[Runemarks by Joanne Harris|Runemarks]] and [[Runelight by Joanne Harris]] for more Viking lore brought to life. You might also enjoy [[Twelve Nights by Andrew Zurcher]].
