The person who recommended them to me said they were a darker more mature version of Harry Potter. They certainly are darker and deal with religion in a more complex way whereas the Harry Potter books are more about good versus evil. I find the Harry Potter books more creative.
SPOILER: Seriously, don't read this if you have any plans to read the series.
So how was the girl the new Eve, merely because they shut up all the rips between worlds? Also, What a bleak version of heaven! What's up with that? I kept thinking of it as purgatory which is obviously Catholic theology, but then why was the church so bad. (note: I am not trying to get into a discussion of the Catholic church and its theology).
I was ready to be finished with the books so I may not have read them as closely as I should of to have figured this out. But oh well.

To tell you the truth, I can't remember enough about the third book right now to comment further. I read it several years ago (and in the early part of bar review). Plus I'm brain dead from an overly stimulating week. I'll try to look at it over the weekend and will PM you to keep from boring the others.
(Is it time to go home yet??)
