Seal of the King (#1)

Well, I do like spiritual warfare novels. This is my first novel by Ralph Smith.
This one is the longest one I've ever read in that genre and while there isn't as much on the spiritual side, it was still good.
I liked some of the biblical references but since I'm not a Christian, there were several "Christian" aspects of the book that I did not agree with. It's not a salvation issue, so, I can agree to disagree.
After Aurora & David were married, there were way too many "steamy" scenes to my liking. I understand they are married but too many times, I felt like an intruder on their personal space. It wasn't graphic or detailed or anything untoward, just too sensual for my taste.
No profanity or gore.
Total cliff-hanger. After 700+ pages, I would think there would have been a conclusion. In my opinion, the author spent too much time acclimating Aurora to "our" world. It would have been nice to see less dilly-dallying and more action and adventure. But that's my opinion.
For those who like spiritual warfare novels, I would recommend and just skim the "sensual" parts.
Interesting read.

That's my only complaint. Nice supernatural novel that mixes a "dimensional travel" book."

"It's quite provocative now...I understand they are married but come on. Not all of us readers are!
I feel like I need to close my eyes because I'm being brought into a very private moment."
