review 1: A good read...but a bit too shallow for my taste. I would have liked more in-depth detailing and about 200 more pages. I enjoyed reading this story of Ammon and King Lamonhi as if I were actually there. The romantic bit between Ammon and the King's daughter Isabel was fun. The author also added a few other interesting twists and turns to the story. I do have one huge gripe...not about the story, but the book cover photos. They are so obviously "posed by models" and cheesy, plus the model posing as Isabel is caucasian!
review 2: Sariah S. Wilson has done it again! She has quickly become my favorite author as her tales pull me in from start to finish. When Isabel's father offers her hand to a Nephite, she's shocked and angry-and when the offer is refused, she's
... more utterly furious. How dare this Ammon refuse to marry the beautiful eldest daughter of King Lamoni! There could only be one explanation for this unforgivable dishonor: Ammon must be a spy.Isabel closely watches her enemy, expecting to find evidence of treachery, but instead she finds evidence of loyalty, bravery, and kindness. Afraid to admit her growing affection for Ammon, Isabel hides her true feelings behind a headstrong façade. Yet when the vile Lamanite prince Mahlon threatens to take her as a bride and wrest the kingdom from Lamoni, Isabel must choose between her pride and her life. Meanwhile, the risks of love test Ammon's faith and courage as never before.Will Ammon thwart the marriage of Isabel and Mahlon before it's too late? And could a Lamanite princess and a Nephite prince really live happily ever after?Sariah brings the Book of Mormon to life and makes it more personal. Being able to relate to the characters and see them as human is a daunting task to be sure, but her storytelling brings them to life and down to our level as human beings. The prophets of old have feelings just as you and I and are bound to make mistakes. This author has a talented way of sharing a glimpse of what it could have been like in ancient times. less
