So excited to have gotten this in the mail yesterday!!! I’m already on chapter 21 and it is (like all of Jill Eileen Smith’s books) absolutely amazing!! Review coming SOON! #theheartofaking
Jill Eileen Smith has blown it out of the park *again*! Starting out with Joseph as a young man, Smith takes us in a journey into the developing situation of Jacob’s family. Smith thoroughly researched as she always does to present us with a story that is as accurate as you can get. Where there is fine a biblical truth, Smith sticks to it and builds her fictional world around it instead of trying to make the Bible change to fit her narrative. Definitely a recommended read!! I was provided a copy of this book from the publisher. I was not required to give a positive review. All opinions are my own.
When thinking of a Cinderella retelling, my mind certainly never went to the world that Chautona Havig has created. Havig has taken something “ordinary” and “mundane” and used her creative genius to form a world brimming with new possibilities. At the start of the book, Havig begins setting the stage with the main characters and we learn who is who. As the plot moves along, Havig does an excellent job of building the world and storyline. The plot moves along at a great pace and the character building is on par. But, this is what I have come to expect from a Havig book! Havig crafts great stories period. While this is not a storyline I would have come up with, at the end, Havig will leave you believing that it is a wonderful real world. That’s the thing with great storytellers - they have the ability to take something no one else would dream of and make an amazing work of art out of it. I received a copy of this book, but was not required to give a positive review. All...
Princess Wren is not what you would expect from a princess. She is lonely and through the years makes a friend who teaches her skills that lead to her independence. Princess Wren finds herself in some impossibly hard circumstances that leave you on the edge of your seat to see what the outcome is. Throughout the story, the gospel message is weaved in seamlessly. While reading the book, I was reminded of Pilgrim’s Progress several times. I would highly recommend reading the book.
