I really like the book,however wish I would have read the notes in the back that explained what things meant before or as I was reading the book. I found it to be a bit slow moving at first but then had a hard time putting it down. It has a Christain theme that parallels our beliefs thus makes you think on many occasions. I found it ministered to me in a personal way. I enjoyed the concept of the book and could relate with the main character.

This was an extemely good book! I'm am an author in training and as such, I am very critical of what I read. I find few books that I can really enjoy. This one however was very well written. I couldn't put it down! It also shows you how to battle with depression. Don't believe the Rhusicans' lies or enter the gray fog. Fight with the Verses!

I haven't read many fantasy books but I really enjoyed this one! I bought it at a booksigning from the author and absolutely loved it! Sharon Hinck did an excellant job making the main character a very believable hero and the fact that it is a woman who is the hero was very fun to read.
Because it is written in first person I was a little unsure at first if I would like it or not, but the book really drew me into Susan's world and into her character.
I think Sharon Hinck did an excellant job writing an unusual book. It was also very encouraging and challenging for me spiritually, and my faith has becomne stronger after reading this book. It really touched me and I would deffinantly reccomend it!

Maybe I was expected a little to much with this book. I don't think it lived up to what different sources led me to believe, but still, it was worth reading I guess. I'd recommend it to people who have already finished all the other Christian fantasy fiction like The Door Within Trilogy and Echoes from the Edge.

I absolutely loved The Restorer! Sharon Hinck is an amazing writer! I loved the intense emotions in this book, it was really cool the way Sharon described how Susan was feeling, and how she could detect what others were thinking just by their facial expressions - especially Tristan.
And I loved all her moments with the One ... what it would be like to feel His presence like that as much as she did...
