This book was recommended to me as being similar to the wingfeather saga. I agree, there are some similarities, but this trilogy is definitely a King David reimagining, whereas the wingfeather saga was an original concept. The way the author narrated it was humorous, and I like the segments that involved the feechiefolk, but I wish the illusions to the Bible were more subtle. I’d rather just read a retelling without fantasy elements than one that just follows scripture very closely but adds in whimsical, fantasy elements. Unsure if I will continue.
