DNF for spice. Good story line I love arranged marriages.

Dark and morally grey characters always fascinate me. The FMC goes from unwanted and orphaned to wanted and threatened by her family. The MC is on the verge of overtaking the underworld. It was a mite too steamy for my taste, but no techinically no spice, but some very suggestive scenes.

Heartwarming...wrenching...stopping all of it. The characters all move together seamlessly. You can cut the emotion with a spoon. This no spice book keeps you wondering what will happen until the very end. I love the subplot of romance and the plot driven style.

I enjoyed this book. The characters are sweet and everything a follower of Christ should be. I enjoyed seeing a take on the lives of two people who we know little about, but were clearly important enough to be in the Bible. The show of forgiveness throughout this book is a good lesson to remember.

As always the effort put into details and continuity is incredible but the part that wrecked me was the new things. I loved seeing Haymitch in the light the author gives him.

An interesting take on Gods plan for people and how it takes so many forms. No spice. I loved seeing the pain and intricacy of the story. I'd like to read the rest of the series.

I loved this through and through. Better than Narnia this revision of Christ was wonderful. The symbolism and truth weaved into this story will definitely have me coming back.

3.5-4 no spice. It was nice to listen to at a leisurely pace. It was a good cozy historical romance. Not much to say for or against.
