My Review ~ 4.5 STARS!!!
Sword of Trust (Winds of Change 2) by Debbie Lynne Costello
“There
comes a point when a man must stand up for what he knows is right regardless of
whether it goes against his king.”
Sword
of Trust is the long-awaited second book in the Winds of
Change series and it was worth the wait! Medieval is not my era of expertise
but I was completely and utterly fascinated by the landscape, characters, and
history displayed. It was an age of inconceivable brutality and Costello does
not shrink back from that reality, yet with subtle words engaged this reader to
the point that I was rather antsy when I had to put the book down.
I found much depth to Bryce and Deirdre and many others, loving them each for their unique qualities. Faith struggles are on prominent display as well, and hope brought about in a natural way that was quite encouraging. There is one character that stands out robustly in my mind and I sure hope *he gets his story someday because what a story it would be.
*whispers
to the author “Michael, Michael” LOL
If you have not read the first book, Sword of Forgiveness, I recommend doing so as I think it will add context and depth to this one. I highly recommend Sword of Trust! I received an ARC from the author and also purchased a personal copy. No compensation received.
Thanks for having me on here, TWICE, Anne!!!
