King's Shadow
In the beginning, I had a hard time getting into it because it's very political as far as what was going on during that time. This is not necessarily a bad thing-- I just had a hard time paying attention. As I got into the book and the characters, I really enjoyed it and I learned a lot!

Reminded me of a soap opera
I found this interesting once I finally got about chapter 14. I almost put it down before that due to the constant bickering, unrest, backstabbing, etc. it got much better after chapter 14 and the last few chapters were the best. it does give good insight to the facts that occurred during that time. I also prefer stories that have God or Jesus more prominent.

I was so enthralled by the historical take on the bible. This is the fourth book in the series, to make a book out of the prophets kept me wanting more. Author is one of my favorite now and so are the Narrators. I search by author and also by narrators. If you enjoy the author, you have to also like the narrators.
