Mr. Davis
First, I just wanted to write and tell you how much my brother and I love your books. They are so beautiful and inspiring! I have all three of your current series and can’t wait for the next! Reading your books was one of my earliest forays into the fantasy genre – along with C.S. Lewis and Donita K. Paul. Now I am hopelessly addicted to fantasy. My brother is too. He often comes up to me asking – “So, When is the next Bryan Davis book coming out?”.
The both of us together have read DIOM, OOF, and Echoes over at least three dozen times. Your books have never left the “Honor spot” on my bookshelf since the day I got them. You have been our number #1 favorite author since the night I got my first copy of Raising Dragons in the nearby Pathways Christian book store. I told my brother to read it when I was done. He read it overnight and almost as soon as he had closed the book he was asking when I would be buying the rest. Which was really good coming from him. He never really liked to read much at all up until then.
The people I have heard say that you are as good, or almost as good as Lewis and Tolkien are so wrong. Your books beat theirs by far. I don’t think I have ever read another author’s work that was so immersing, complex, or powerful as yours. It is also wonderful to find an author who’s writing is pure and not tainted with questionable material. The first fantasy series I ever read was a non-christian one. That series almost put me off fantasy forever. I’m glad I didn’t or I might have missed out on a lot of wonderful books.
Thanks for your time,
Christina
