pickThis version of Esther‘s story stands out to me for it‘s willingness to tackle the perspective of Xeres. While the novel itself toggles between Esther and a palace servant, the story also gives us thoughts and motivations that may have driven the king. This was my favorite book in the 3 part series.
“Never usurp the right of the Almighty to plan your future...HaShem is always at work, even when you can‘t see Him.”
pickJust finished this last night. Angela Hunt's second book in this series will definitely be a part of my 2019 reading plans!
pickThough the beginning contained too many abrupt shifts in POV, the book quickly improved and I found myself anxiously anticipating the characters' fates-even though I had already read the biblical story which inspired this novel. Well researched and a great portrayal of a strong-willed female lead.
