I loved the first book in this series, Counted with the Stars. I couldn't wait to read this book. I was a little disappointed that this book was about Shira, not about Kiya. I loved Kiya's character in the first book and I wanted to read more of her story. I still enjoyed reading about Shira. This book didn't catch my interest the same way Counted with the Stars did, but I still loved it. The story was very interesting and unique and I loved the plot twists throughout the book. It was nice to see a different side to Shira and to read her story. I am glad that we also got to read about some of our favorite characters from the first book. The story is so immersive and Connilyn writes with so much detail you get transported to the story. The story line between Dvorah, Ayal, and Kiya reminded me of a soap opera and it was filled with drama and twists and turns. I wanted to keep reading to find out what would happen next. It was a great sequel to Counted with the Stars. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series and I recommend this series to anyone who enjoys historical fiction or historical biblical fiction.
I received this book for free from Bethany House Publishers for my honest review.
