The Butterfly and the Violin by Kristy Cambron
5.0
"UPS": The historical characters in this book were absolutely incredible! I loved each one of them and they were all so realistic, believable, and just excellently written. The story was also full of adventure, plot twists, and believable emotion, which made the book that much better. The Christian content was also great, nearly every page was full of prayers, faith, and Scriptures, making the book very refreshing to read.
"DOWNS": The "present day" characters and story did not impress me that much, the romance between Sera and William happened way to fast to be realistic and really, kissing the day you meet is not a good move. William was a well developed character, but Sera, as a character, seemed confusing. Her hurt was believable at first, but the fact that she threw away all her guard and cation the day she meets William, made it seem as if she was just using her "hurt" as an excuse to ignore other guys, which I am sure the author did not try to do.
"OVERALL": The "downs" do not overpower the "ups"! Despite the "downs", I still give The Butterfly and the Violin a rating of 4.5 stars out of 5 for my time well spent! Those of you who love historical fiction, you will love this book! I highly recommend it!
