It's rare when a writer surprises me anymore. Honestly, I only bought the "book" due to Margaret Weis's recommendation - is that bad? So glad I did as I'm a new fan. I have to say, it was pretty darn good as the story took a different spin on cliche angel/ demon/ fantasy concepts. Only a few critique's - I wish the author had done a little more backstory on his many characters, I would have loved that and could have fleshed out the book even more and taken it to that epic fantasy level. It did seem a bit choppy as if the editor removed parts to fit the story in a certain page amount, but the story line was that good that I kept reading. I felt it took too long to reveal some pertinent information, but that is up to the reader to decide.I am disappointed that the second book isn't out yet. Hurry David, your new fans are awaiting!

The Second Coming David H Burton 9780986594113 Books Reviews
I wasn't sure what to expect as I sat down to read "The Second Coming (Words of the Prophecy)". In fact, the extent of my fantasy reading stopped at Harry Potter, and maybe a bit more adventurous, "The Lord of the Rings". I saw a trailer for this book and the words "What if God was immoral", splayed across the screen. I had to check this out.
I have never been a religious person, believing in many different "classic scenarios", and sure enough within the first part of this book, I knew once again, that my beliefs would truly be broadened. I was transported into a post-apocalyptic world, as the creative writing made me feel present in the dark, secretive world of "what if"?
Although the story is one that keeps the reader glued from the first words, it's the brilliance of the characters that truly make this journey feel personal. They are all beautifully warped, and one instantly falls in love with the way that they manaouver through their internal struggles and their surroundings. As each new character is introduced, I found myself conflicted as to who was my favourite. The most notable of these characters have to be the women. Whether good, or evil, they are portrayed as self sufficient, strong minded, ass kicking individuals, yet at the same time, the naivety of their internal wants and struggles are brilliantly executed with such grace.
Everyone is hiding something and only the reader is treated to the true diversity of these characters which truly helps one adapt the "where you go, I will follow" attitude.
It's a story of conflict, good versus evil (which Burton strategically lets the reader decide), but the who and what are good, always keeps you guessing. In a world where such chaos exists, this plainly to me, is the everyday journey of ones struggles and desires to find where one fits, and the cost that it takes to get there.
This truly was a second coming for me as a reader as my world was turned sideways, and I was brought into a world of in-between and the distance that the author help me wander. It will make you as a reader realize that there is a greater importance of the why and who, you are.
David H. Burton has shown us with this book that he has the potential to take his place in the "big leagues" of professional authors. I would compare his writing favorably with that of many of the top-selling modern authors. I wouldn't be surprised someday to see his name listed alongside the bestselling "greats" of today, such as Stephen King, Dan Brown, and Dean Koontz.
The writing style in this book is flawless. The post-apocalyptic world created by Mr. Burton is intriguing. It's also original, which says something in today's oft-redundant fiction world!
I'm normally hesitant to read books that might be labeled as fantasy OR horror. (Well, okay, I read a few of them, but I'm selective!) The author's posts on the boards caught my attention, though, so I tried a sample. I was hooked within the first paragraph or two. Unfortunately, I started it during a very busy week. I had an awfully difficult time putting this one down to go to work! Though trite, it really is a page-turner.
Warning This book should not be mistaken for a piece of religious fiction. It is not for those who will be offended by dark fantasy-horror. If the sacrilegious offends you, then step back from this title! On the other hand, if a book full of demons, witches, and deep, dark evil don't scare you, then jump right in! This book will be sure to please you.
I'm eagerly awaiting another book!
As someone who has stuck almost exclusively to non fiction books, I was not sure how much I would enjoy this book. Well after finishing the book I can say it just an amazing book. You literally felt as if you were transported to another world with such great details paid to the descriptive elements of the book. This respect for detail from Mr Burton really played a key role in why the book was able to draw you in so deep. Add to this a plethora of unique and diverse characters plus a plot that is multi-layered and you have a real winner here. Even better is that this is the first book in a series. I for one will be buying the next book as soon as it is released.
First, let me say that Burton is a very good writer. The story had a good narrative and lots of imagery, but perhaps a little too much. The sample started out extremely well, and certainly good enough for me to order the full book, but before too long I felt like I needed a program to know all the players, locations, magical items, internal thought processes of characters, etc. Perhaps, unfairly, when I think of fantasy I think of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I think this book could have been like that (with more books to follow), but there were so many characters and events going on, it was hard to enjoy them (my opinion only). Half-way through I found myself irritated because the narrative was rushing through the lives and situations of people who, I think, would have made the book more enjoyable if it had slowed down and spent more time with them. Again, Burton is very good; you'd have to be to create a world like this, but I wish he would have let us spend more time in a slightly less-complicated world where "everyone" didn't some type of magical power/connection and giving us time to appreciate his talents.
It's rare when a writer surprises me anymore. Honestly, I only bought the "book" due to Margaret Weis's recommendation - is that bad? So glad I did as I'm a new fan.
