One
of my favorite books of the Bible is the book of Esther, so when I saw that
Jill Eileen Smith had written a Biblical fiction book on Esther called the Star
of Persia: Ester's Story I knew that I had to read it. Jill Eileen Smith
is one of only two authors I go to for, for Biblical fiction.
Star of
Persia: Esther's Story is different than Jill's previous books
but is just as good as the other books of hers that I've read. In this
one, she balanced the Biblical account of the book of Esther with that of the
historical account of Xerxes rein. Both the Biblical and historical
accounts were woven together to bring this awesome book to live.
Star of
Persia brings the story of Esther to life an after reading
this book I went back and read the book of Esther from my Bible.
This book is perfect for
fans of Biblical fiction and Tessa Afhsar.
I
received a copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley. I was not
required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
