review 1: Another well written book that I truly enjoyed reading. I liked how we were kept guessing on the Ammon/Elena storyline, almost Jane Austin-like, "How will these two EVER get together?". I also like that Moore isn't afraid to address certain taboo subjects-adultery, prostitution, subjugation of women, that so many current LDS writers keep glossing over. These gross iniquities still occur today and it is the job of writers to heighten the public's awareness of them-no matter how strict the Deseret Book publishing world has become. My only nitpicking is with the characters of Zaman and Abish. I felt Zaman got off too easy and his true motive for what he did to his own sister wasn't quite believable to me. And what about Abish, I'm glad she didn't end up with Ammon as oth... moreer LDS versions of the story have done, but I can't help but ask-what's going to happen to her now? Here's hoping for a sequel.
review 2: I had mixed feelings about this book. I thought it was decently written and research was obviously put in. It was a mix of several things, history, action, adventure, romance, even some hunorous parts, which I liked. However I did not initially realize this was part of a series and that made the book confusing. Also I felt as though the author was pushing religious aspects that I do not agree with, even from a fictional stand-point. Not all this is persay bad for others, but it did affect my personal enjoyment of the book. I am torn to go back and read other books the author has written to perhaps better understand. I do not yet know at this time. The overly religious aspect (and I don't mean just the historical sense with who Ammon was). really pushed me away.I won this book here on Goodreads as a free giveaway in the First Reads program. less
