review 1: The Day of Atonement by David Liss is an excellent historical fiction. It is the best book I have read this year. I received this book from Goodreads First Reads Giveaway and I so glad I did. The author has a way of hooking the reader right away, and getting you involved with the characters. I was on a roller coaster ride of emotions along with the main character Sebastian as he pursued his quest. This book is well worth the time to read. I plan to read more from this author. I will be sending this book to a friend who also loves historical fiction, she too will enjoy it very much. Thank you Goodreads for the opportunity to read this marvelous book!
review 2: This book is supposed to be the next Benjamin Weaver, but he is only a framing device and we se... moree very little of him. However, we see his imprint on a New Christian from Portugal that he raised after the child's family were taken by the Inquisition. Lots of twists and turns, lies and trust, explored but not the big sweeping tale that was Conspiracy of Paper. I did enjoy this story of redemption revenge and what those concepts really mean in practice. Cared what happened to the characters, but it wasn't my favorite David Liss. less
