![]() ![]() ![]() The only problem I have with the series (two of the books anyway) is Hadassah, the heroine of the tale. In fact, how I wish they would make a movie out of the books! You know those good ol movies such as Ben Hur and The Robe? This trilogy reminded me of the movies. ![]() This has got to be the best, and I mean, THE best Christian trilogy I've ever read. This is a love story, a history, a story of cruelty and torture and hate and unconditional love, varying relationships and all the dynamics involved, and amazing characters and the events in their lives. And the culture and practices of the period are written with such detail that you are left with a solid understanding of what life was like in Rome and how people lived. The story line continues over time and through the last book and through many situations pertinent to the time. The main character appears and plays a large part in the second book in the series but there are other characters that evolve and come to the forefront. By the end of the book, she's grown, and you will have run a gamut of emotions, experienced love, total suspense, extreme pain, joy, tears, hope, fear, and burning anger, and I would be surprised if you don't lie awake many nights thinking, "I've GOT to put this book down and go to sleep.but I c-a-n-'t!" ![]() The story begins in early Rome with a young girl character. This is another author I resisted reading.for y-e-a-r-s because I had preconceived opinions about what she would write because she's a Christian. Absolutely one of the BEST series I've read. ![]()
