I’ve read Letters of the Dying Love several times over and keep finding new gems to ponder. The action of this sequel crescendos up and up until you feel sorry for what these characters have to go through. But the reward is extremely satisfying, and I find myself wanting to live a life like theirs… This is one you definitely want to enjoy now and enlist friends so you’ve got someone to talk about it with. It’s that inspiring and rewarding.

Book 2 of the Paradoxon series is a captivating continuation of Book 1 that I would strongly recommend to anyone who enjoys CS Lewis style writing. I couldn’t put the book down until I was finished. It is a fascinating allegory that contains God-inspired wisdom. I was delighted by the many twists and turns and the revelation of a redeeming love. I hope to see more writings from Janice Buswell in the near future.

“Love is your only guarantee, yet from it we most often flee, for it never comes as expected and rarely as wished for” (Invitation to the Dying Love, p. 401).
Even as a professional editor, I rarely encounter books as engaging, profound, and multifaceted as the Paradoxon stories. The five main characters are equally relatable with a unique past and wide range of depth. Readers are drawn into their mysterious quest where the stakes are high and the outcome is constantly in question.
Rae, Traice, Karyn, David, and Michelle meet for the first time as a result of an unexpected invitation they’ve received to travel as a group to the house of the elusive “Steward.” Each invitation holds the promise of an answer to the individual’s personal question. But how could the Steward even be aware of their private inquiries, let alone hold the answers to them? The group bands together to make the harrowing journey and form an unpredictable and tenuous bond that only the discovery of true love will preserve.
The Paradoxon books are an especially delightful adventure that spoke to me personally of the sacrificial love of my Savior, Jesus Christ, through the parable of the “Paradox” and his love for the people of Onze. It reaches through personal ambition and egocentric priorities to expose the truth that triumphant love requires one first to experience death to self. Through their challenges, mistakes, miscommunications, and close calls, the unlikely friends learn what unity can look like and that there is a unique kind of dying that ends in life.
These books were the best fictional reading experience I’ve ever had, and I’m greatly anticipating the opportunity to read through them again.
