Absolutely one of the BEST series I've read. This is another author I resisted reading...for y-e-a-r-s because I had preconceived opinions about what she would write because she's a Christian.I was so very, very wrong.The story begins in early Rome with a young girl character. By the end of the book, she's grown, and you will have run a gamut of emotions, experienced love, total suspense, extreme pain, joy, tears, hope, fear, and burning anger, and I would be surprised if you don't lie awakeBest books I've ever read in my life. Period.
Books 1 & 2 need to be read as if they are one book. If not, all the darkness (esp Julia) in book 1 may turn you off bc it nearly did for me. Plus, it's tough to get into at first, but don't give up. Book 2 is the redemption part! SO good. I loved it! Couldn't get enough of book 2 and I didn't want it to ever end.I have mixed feelings about Book 3. I rated it 3.5 stars/5 but I was disappointed about the last quarter of the book, esp Atretes treatment of Rizpah. It's still a good book but it
These books were hard for me. Then I couldn't put it down. A voice I the Wind is the 1st book, then An Echo in the darkness and last As sure as the dawn. These are about the time when the disciples were being persecuted along with the Christians. It is gory but what story isn't. Just look at the wars we have going on now. I recommend this trilogy and hope you got something great out of it about what you believe and how far you would go to save your life or the lives of others.
I cannot say how much I love these books! I read them every couple of years. The characters come alive and I think about them often. Sometimes I will find myself asking "what would Hadassah do in this situation?" A MUST READ!!
These books are a great way to learn about what it was like for early Christians. They're set around 79 AD - sort of the first to second generation after Jesus was alive. Jerusalem has just fallen, Christians are being persecuted. Rome is at the height of decadence. Gladiator contests in the arena reign supreme for entertainment. Paul has just written letters to the churches in several major cities.Even though they're very fictional accounts, I really appreciated the insight these books gave
