Although this is part of a series, I started here and the story was complete. The story was gripping from beginning to end with Jewish history beautifully wound in. There was romance but also action and excitement. This was a back story of some plausible events that might have been going on during the time of Queen Esther. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and will seek out more of Tessa's novels.
Tessa Afshar has fast become a new favourite author of mine and one of the first I recommend to others for Biblical fiction. I loved this new perspective on Queen Esther- the story is primarily about Sazana, who creates beautiful pottery in the royal pottery workshop. The setting and characters are beautifully written and the story is engaging- I also loved learning a little about the process of making pottery while reading the story too! Characters were relatable, well rounded and likeable. Highly recommend, especially for readers of Biblical and historical fiction. Overall, a wholesome, interesting, clean story.
