Jerusalem's Queen

I devoured this book. It's a time in Israel's history that I didn't know about at all. Well-developed characters and a good handle on the culture of the day. This would be a good book club read or for anyone who wants to piece together the Bible narrative a bit more.

This book was wonderful! A fascinating and thoroughly intriguing look into the world of Jewish history, post-Maccabees and pre-Messiah. The characters were fabulous and the history was incredible—I definitely recommend this one!

This is a wonderful Biblical novel!

Before I started reading this series of books I didn’t really know anything about the 400 years between the Old and New Testaments. I love the fact that the author has researched this period extensively so that she was able to write accurate and informative stories based on historical facts. I found it fascinating after finishing the story to read her note at the back of the book and learn where she found out her information and which aspects of the book were factual.

I absolutely loved both Salome Alexandra and Kissa. They both started off with very difficult situations that they were trying to figure out how their lives were going to progress. The way they were able to forge a deep friendship and help each other out along the way was incredible.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher, through NetGalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All of the opinions expressed are my own.
