Two women occupy a place in Herod's court: the king's only sister, Salome, a resentful woman who has been told she is from an inferior race, and her lowly handmaid, Zara, who sees the hurt in those around her. Both women struggle to reach their goals and survive in Herod the Greats tumultuous court, where no one is trustworthy and no one is safe.

I really enjoyed the story. it was very well executed. The timelines all met, with the History I had learned. I enjoyed it very much. I still had trouble, with the voice distinctions of some of the Characters.

Great Story line.

I enjoy this author very much & have picked out her series of books to listen to in sequence. I had a little problem with the back & forth voice volume between Herod & Salome, but finally adjusted.

Dark But So Was Herod the Great

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!

I really love this story. It was a little different from the previous books I had listened to but just as enjoyable.

Beautiful story

Interesting story line. Historical fiction. It is something to think about to be alive during those days right before Jesus's birth.

Interesting

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.

Reminded me of a soap opera

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.

Endless chapters of recitations of names, places, and historical events without first drawing the reader in by fleshing out the characters. The narration by Alice Jones was forced and harsh.
I nearly ditched the book several times. I've read all of Angela Hunt's books. This one lands squarely at the bottom of the list. Given the subject matter, and the usual caliber of her books, this could have been so much better.

Painful

I liked the story but the older voice was SO frustrating! Really loud then too quiet
plus other things. The story was good but the reader was way too dramatic
Sorry but I wanted to pull out my hair

The Salome voice…
