Cloak of the Light
Chuck Black
Book Review by Jubilee Anderson
Drew Carter’s life is full of heartbreak and tragedy. With the loss of his dad and the death of his friend, it seems like there’s no purpose in life. Going to college might be the best way for a new start.
But while experimenting in the college lab, a piece of equipment explodes, leaving Drew blind. Months later, when Drew regains his sight, he realizes his senses are heightened and he can see into another realm—a realm of strange warriors who fight to influence the human world for good or for evil.
Cloak of the Light weaves in themes of good vs evil, spiritual warfare, and finding one’s purpose.
I’ve heard a lot about Chuck Black over the past few years, so when I finally saw his book at the library a few months ago, I instantly picked it up. While I was hooked pretty quickly, I kept waiting for something to happen to get the action going, which took a little bit. Finally, I got to the part where Drew’s friend messed up on the experiment, and after that there was no way I was putting the book down.
The plot was so unique and so suspenseful! It was like a mystery to find out who the strange warriors were. I also loved the realism of the beginning. I felt like, while I haven’t gone through what Drew did, he lived a normal life in a normal world. He could have been one of my friends.
My only suggestion is, get the second and third books before you finish the first one—you’ll need them!
I’m going to give this one 4 stars.
CONTENT:
There’s spiritual warfare and some violence, but Chuck Black is a Christian author, and he does an amazing job of writing wholesome stories!
