Thank you to Bethany House Publishers for my ARC of Chasing the Horizon by Mary Connealy. All opinions are my own.
This was my second book by this author, and I just think this author’s writing style isn’t for me. That being said, this isn’t a bad book at all. It just isn’t my preference.
I think you would like this story if you enjoy slower paced books with a strong focus on characters and their experiences during their historical period. The author does a great job researching the time period for her stories, and I like the added faith elements that she includes.
While there is a bit of a romance in this book, that is definitely not the focus of the book. It’s more about overcoming hardships and the importance of looking out for each other.
The last few chapters were a bit weird to me, but I guess the author was trying to set up the reader for the next book in the series. It just felt like it was too open-ended.
Overall, I appreciate what the author was trying to do, but it just wasn’t for me.
