Unexpected Page Turner -- While this is a retelling of the story of Esther it is not simply the story of Esther set in a different location, time or culture. It is cleverly woven into an intriguing storyline set in a well imagined kingdom.

"Who knows, Vivienne, if just like Esther, you came to this royal position for such a time as this?" The book's cover drew me to this story and I was not disappointed!

A kingdom, a war and a princess who wants to do good before God. This book really kept me reading until way too late.

The world building is amazing and very complex. I appreciated the maps and pictures as it helped my imagination to understand a little more clearly. I thought it was very unique and helped immerse me in the story world the author created... This story is engrossing, filled with relatable characters who have had to endure horrible tragedies in their lives, yet still they press on.

What a wonderful story! As I read, Vivienne’s prays and affirmations brought up issues from my own psyche. The story entertained me; the messages grounded me.

Wow, what an awesome book. King of the Crown Imperials has fairy tale vibes along with being a kind of Esther retelling.

I’m not one for Biblical fiction, so I was a little hesitant picking this up. But I’d heard that it was set in modern times with excellent world-building, so I thought I’d give it a try. WOW! The author instantly became a must-read for me, and I couldn’t put it down.
