I enjoyed this imaginative take on Noah's ark, and the twins were finally given an adventure of the their own, to show how clever and brave they are. Their personalities added a comical balance to the series events of Noah's task, and the people who will do anything to stop him. The seraphim and nephilim have their own conflict, while Noah's family, and his neighbors deal with the harsh environment of the desert and the cruel actions of Tiglah and her family, who want Noah's land fro their own. With the twins thrown, literally, in the middle of the conflict, they must learn why they were sent before Noah's Ark is complete, and how they will stay true to the original story. Yalith, Noah's daughter and the closest person to the stars, must decide how she can maintain the balance between seraphim and nephilim, as well as the family conflicts that threaten her way of life, and the power struggle of Tiglah's family versus Noah's task.
This story was a philosophical adventure told in a familiar medium. The twins, who never have experienced anything strange, and never gone on an adventure before are put to the test in more ways than one, and must decide when and how they will get back home without changing history and the future of their world.
I recommend this book to fans of the first three books, and history fans. Although the facts are not completely straight, the book delves into important questions about the origin of Noah's story and what life could have been like at the time of the story.
