I am interested in seeing future books
I was intrigued by the dystopian topic of this novel. As a homeschooling mother of seven kids, I have noticed some changes in the way history is taught and certain events elevated while others are left out. It was fun to see if there would be much history included in the novel. I wondered if this is what we can expect in the near future.
God cannot alter the past, though historians can.

The one problem in this book though is that there was not any cool history info but employs several disjointed ways of moving the plot forward. It felt like it is an attempt at making a clean christian novel without the real sense of why we worship God. The underlying sense of sexual excitement in some places is more than would be expected from this genre in my mind but it is a clean read.
I think reading the first book, Day Moon, before this one would make Veiled Sun easier to understand as there seem to be gaps in the plot info at times. This seemed to me apparent as characters were barely introduced before the action began. It does have potential though with the interesting twist on a future dystopian society.
Some interesting elements were the inclusion of references to popular media. I did notice one reference to a military FBI nonfiction exposE book with new age strategies called Men Who Stare at Goats that is an interesting and terrifying read. If you have a love for things like The Matrix, Narnia, and futuristic sci-fi then this might be a good book for you to read.
I received a free copy of this book. All opinions are completely my own.
