Our view
“Black” opens Ted Dekker’s “Circle” series with a bold two-world premise and steady suspense, and some readers single out its ideas. Others find the fantasy world weaker than the chapters set on Earth and its Christian imagery heavy-handed, question the hero’s choices or want a clearer link between the two worlds. A good pick for those who want suspense with a spiritual dimension.
