review 1: I know that I am absolutely in the minority here, but I couldn't force myself to finish this book. The writing was awful. I'm not talking "Oh, man, this is pretty bad, but the story makes up for it" awful. No, I'm talking "This is a lot like listening to a five year old tell you about their day" kind of awful. I'm a big fan of clarity, but this took it too far. I may come back to it when I'm in a more forgiving mood, but for now this book has firmly earned itself a place on my "should probably have been burned with the big T Books" shelf.
review 2: Reign: The Chronicles of Queen Jezebel is the first book that I have read by Ginger Garrett (I received the book as a Good Reads Giveaway). I enjoyed the author's writing style - it was easy to read and flowed nicel... morey. Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres and this fit the bill. However, I found the title character, Jezebel, abhorrent to the point where I sometimes wanted to stop reading to make her go away. I am only vaguely familiar with the story of Jezebel in the Bible so I do not know how much of the character in this book was based on true accounts. It is hard to imagine a woman so cruel. The parts in the book dealing with the murder of innocent babies are really hard to stomach. I kept waiting for something to happen, for Jezebel to just do something to make her feel more human and not just pure evil. The book ended a little too quickly for my taste - I would have liked to know what happened to Jezebel after her husband Ahab was killed. Did the curse over their lineage come true? Perhaps there will be a sequel! less
