Author: Joanna Alonzo

I found myself surprised at certain times of what was woven into this book from Esther. Some of it didn't even click for quite a while because it was so subtle. But I loved all the aspects the author put into this story. If you love retellings and high stakes romance I highly suggest you pick this book soon.

What a remarkable, uplifting, beautiful story! This is a modern twist on the biblical story of Queen Esther with a nod to other ancient literature woven into the tale. Told with both grace and flair, I was entranced from the first chapter and loved the whole adventure!

This story has wonderful characters. Strong Christian principles are displayed by both Philip and Vivienne such as depending on the Lord for strength, courage, guidance, and direction. They seek His will over their own.

Kelly's Full Review

This book is unique. I love how the author combined the tropes of falling for royalty and fake engagement with more serious and important topics. We have politics, intrigue, intricate world-building, love, fighting for what you believe in, secrets—all in a retelling of one of the most interesting stories in the bible.
