I have not yet finished this trilogy, but for those of you who keep up with what I am reading while I am reading it, I thought I'd let you know what I was working on.
My dear friend, Pam, gave this set of books to me as a birthday gift after having read it herself years ago and knowing that I would love it. She was so right! I have to admit that the first 50 pages of book 1 (A Voice in the Wind) was a little tough for me. I felt like I was back in college getting a serious geography/history/religion lesson. But, as soon as the background information (which really is important in understanding the books) was over and the main characters were introduced, I was hooked.
I immediately fell in love with Marcus, and continue to adore his character in book 2 (Echo in the Darkness, which I am currently reading). His sister, Julia, makes me so angry I could scream. And, Hadassah--well, if we all could only be as pure and dedicated as she we would live in a much better world. Her faith is unfailing. She is amazing.
I find it hard to separate the first two books in order to blog about them so I am going to wait to give my final reaction and thoughts after reading all 3 books. I will go ahead and say that if you want to read something that will challenge you mentally and spiritually, you need to read these books.
