THE MAZE (book) and the domino effect

To read or not to read? This is exactly the question I made. I have never read a Christian Fantasy novel before, so I thought it would be a good idea. If it was a boring story or not well written, I just would let it go.

As soon as I started reading I create an imagine in my mind: a huge puzzle. In a few words, the story is about a man who passes by a near death experience and fights to survive. Suddenly, in the middle of tragedy, he sees himself in a maze full of traps. After a while, he realizes that the traps are connected to his sins. 

Thinking how the plot appears to readers, I can say every chapter seems to be developed with intention of showing a little bit about the characters. Reader and characters are going to build the dynamic of the “maze” together. One by one, the author presents their souls through their thoughts, attitudes, reflections, doubts and sorrows. The big question is what happiness means.

Another point that I consider so much important to mention is the mythological part. Creatures are introduced in a subtle way, they are getting involved with characters so slowly and precisely. Very clever!

While I was reading it, I remembered a film that I had seen long time it called CUBE (1997). However, what called my attention was not the plot of both stories, it was the atmosphere.

The fact is… If you believe in domino effect, you will love this book.
