A Reluctant Queen by Joan Wolf
book review

 

A review of a story based on the Book of Esther; A great romanced novel from a famous passage of the scriptures. If you like Christian Fiction, check it out!

The Book of Esther is a book in the Christian Old Testament that narrates the story of a Hebrew girl who becomes queen of Persia and prevents a genocide of her people.

Esther is the only book in the Bible that does not explicitly mention God.

 

A Biblical fiction about love story within the scriptures.

Review

Joan Wolf conducted a splendid compelling tale in this very well drawn book that is easy to read and appeal from beginning to end.

Plot development and good character outlining are essential elements into making the reader immerse into this story of intrigue and romance.

The fiction portrays the fascinating love story of characters based on the Book of Esther, in the Bible.

As in any historical, or religious, fiction, the author takes historical liberties to adapt this superb plot to her imagination.

I strongly disagree with some critique that says this book is not canon according to the Bible.

This book is a fiction. It is not supposed to be accurate, just “inspired by.”

These kinds of biblical, or historical entertaining stories will do a great job just by making people more interested in their culture; and, hopefully, seek further information.

So, read this book and, if it moves you, go to the source, the Book of Esther, from the Bible.

I would give this advice to anyone, Christian or not; Culture is important and the best way to know humanity is to educate yourself about as many cultures as possible… without any prejudice.

The front cover design is very well thought and executed in my opinion.

The publishers sent me a copy for an uncompromised review through the Thomas Nelson Book Review Bloggers Program.
