My Review
Genre: Christian Historical Fiction.
My Rating: 5 Stars.
Recommendation: Anyone, it would be a great family read.
My favorite character/s: I liked all of the characters, they were well developed. I loved Kanah, I think he was my favorite character.
My Verse for Kanah is Ruth 1:16
And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: King James Version.
My thoughts: I love how lessons are always part of Amanda's books, and Quest for Leviathan has a great lesson about giving control over to God, and to let God be God, I loved the ending and how Amanda wove Scripture into Quest for Leviathan.
I received an ARC of the Quest for Leviathan from the author in exchange for my honest review and the thoughts are my own.

Anath is out for revenge. The beast called Leviathan took his father's life. Now Anath has determined to take the Leviathan's.
What a strong short story!
Despite the sea-dwelling dragon, which is usually a fantasy creature and nothing more, Quest for Leviathan is historical fiction. The Bible clearly indicates that a creature called Leviathan once lived. It's really cool to me how Job 41 inspired this story, and I could almost feel the heart behind it. Inspiration from the Word of God is the best kind. It's beautiful, and it always shows.
The MC, Anath, had some... issues. I can say almost nothing about him without spoiling, but suffice it to say that his character arc was well-executed in spite of how little page time he had. And the ending was SO wonderful. <3
The writing style wasn't my favorite - like, it didn't fully SUCK ME IN - but it was still a pleasant, elegant style that flowed nicely. The story itself was so short that I didn't have time to fully settle into the setting or become fully attached to the characters. But I probably just haven't read enough short stories like this. XD
It was good, guys. There was action, an excellent twist or two, and a central focus on God. I loved that. While reading this story, I felt close to my Lord. It reminded me of how loving and caring and perfect He is. (I pray that there will never be a time when I'm tired of that reminder.)
Quest for Leviathan is a gem. A smol one, yes, but still a gem. :D

Epic! The writing style was intriguing and clear. The characters were wonderful, and the main character's journey and lessons learned were so realistic and brilliantly done. The way Scripture was brought in was AMAZING. Also, Leviathan! YESSS. I love stories with that creature... so terrible... this story did a great job.

This was really good!! I have always loved the book of Job and this was a great biblical fiction about the 41 chapter of Job. Believe me when I say this was amazing. I believe everyone should read this book. It probably took me ten minutes to read it. It was a very short but amazing short story.
Amanda did a great job on her research. Even though there isn't really that much research out there about this time in history, Amanda did a great job at keeping it historically accurate.
I don't want to say anymore for fear of spoilers but all I know is that everyone should read this book!

When I first heard about this book, I wasn't too sure I would enjoy it. I'm not a big fan of most biblical fiction, but it was an author I've enjoyed, so I decided to try it. I needn't have worried.
Very well written, this story takes you to the Mediterranean shore and introduces to characters you want to know more about. While short, the story didn't feel chopped. And the illustrations were a wonderful added touch to the time and place.
While the author admits this time period is difficult to research because of the lack of information, she did a great job, and I didn't find anything that felt out of place.
I would recommend this book.
