The agelessness in this book reminded me of one of my favorite romance movies: The Age of Adaline.
I loved that this wasn't just another fantasy/sci-fi book; it had roots firmly planted in faith. It's rare that I find a good Christian fiction fantasy/sci-fi book to enjoy, so I'm really happy I found this gem. I especially enjoyed the theme that Jesus is to be our strength, not just lend us strength. That goes one step deeper than I usually see, so this made the faith thread super rich and immersive to me.
The evil turn with one of the longevites creeped me out big-time. I felt the evil rolling off this character, and it seemed to ooze off the ebook pages at times. I did have to take stretch breaks during some of the latter half of the book because of this.
The final scene was so hopeful! I adored that. After the evil that had cropped up, it was quite refreshing to switch back to a much lighter tone. This scene left me wanting so much more!
I blew myself away by reading all 528 pages in only two days. This book, because of the beautiful way it's written, was easy to cruise through. Bravo, Mrs. Stevens!
