Wings of the Wind by Connilyn CossetteMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Once again, Mrs. Cossette delivers a fascinating story. Good descriptions, fast-moving scenes, and believable characters make this another thoroughly engaging book.
The author’s imagination is displayed in vivid detail through her creative writing, though the convincing evidence of thorough research is probably the most valuable point in ‘selling’ her work.
That having been said, there were a couple of negatives for me. One was the graphic and disturbing nature of some of the events described. I recognize that this period of history in this area of the world was extremely dark and demonic. However, there were scenes that it seemed could have been a little less graphically descriptive, but still gotten the point across. The second was the interweaving of some of the fictitious characters’ lives with those of actual Biblical/historical figures. This, I suppose, is just a personal preference, but there seemed to be an excessive amount of liberty taken in how the imaginary and the real people were related.
Overall, I enjoyed the second book in this set better, but, if you are interested in Biblical history, or (like me) enjoy romances between husbands and wives, this was a story worth reading.
I received a free copy from the publisher. No review, positive or otherwise, was required—all opinions are my own.
