REREAD 2022: my thoughts have mostly stayed the same. I really enjoyed this highly recommend it! Check out my review on All-Booked Book Reviews: https://youtu.be/_0HKquP4VQ4
4.5 rating. I can't think of a better day to review this than today, America's Independence day. In a nutshell, this book literally had everything: heart-pounding action, wholesome romance, humorous dialogue, sincere messages of faith and some of the most realistic, flesh & blood, characters that I've ever come across. Really cool cover art btw!!
From the first page, I was hooked. I cared about Robert, Maggie, Susanna, Gunner, Michael, Saul, Alec- the whole slew of them!! Each of them had a distinct personality and I never once had to wonder, "so which character is this again?" My least favorite character was actually Saul, due to his hot temper and rash decisions that put others in danger...
The messages of steadfast faith and unshakeable courage were fantastic! I don't want to spoil any of the good parts but the question of, I will trust EVEN IF...really hit home. Oh and there was one amazing scene that just blew me away- the awesome power of prayer was well displayed and gave me goosebumps. I liked that no matter how spiritually-grounded, none of the characters were perfect. They were human. They doubted, jumped ahead of God, and made mistakes- all qualities that made the characters both real and relatable.
The amount of research that went into this book was phenomenal! The author clearly went above and beyond to make this as authentic as possible and she succeeded, even including sources she used and separating what parts were fictional and what really happened.
I don't have many not-so positive notes. There were some parts of the story didn't hold my interest and I didn't mind setting it aside for a couple days. I also had trouble keeping up with the different locations.
Overall, an amazing faith-filled read with well-crafted characters and a zealous sense of patriotism! Highly recommend! I'm so excited for book 2! I hope Chauncy makes a reappearance. Thank you for sending me a free copy to read and review. Well done! Keep writing!
