Blatantly sexist

Revisado: 04-30-25

God never approved blatant sexism like this! This is the worst of Christianity! Men are not supposed to be dominating.

Great premise but painstakingly told

Revisado: 02-27-25

This is one of those books that give way too much irrelevant data without ever telling any of it together. And even minor characters body parts and sexuality are brought into it in a totally irrelevant way. But there are also details like a distant relative committed Seppuku that could’ve been brought in in a meaningful way and just are abandoned needlessly. Either cut out all the irrelevance or make it relevant.

Wonderful lack of cheesy romance

Revisado: 01-21-25

This is a unique story line that addresses issues of the day without being heavy or devolving to cliched romanticism.

Where was the plot?

Revisado: 07-18-24

This is full of historical detail that could have made this a great work but it is essentially just a book of details with very little plot. Would love to see a better author make this topic into a more interesting work of historical fiction.

Needs. Good editor

Revisado: 05-20-24

This is a fabulous story of China’s Maoist history but desperately needs a good editor to cut out so many of the needless details that make the story drag.

Could have been good

Revisado: 04-04-24

I have lived other books by the Thoenes but this one was so full of exaggerations and extremism that it just makes Christians look crazy. So disappointing because this really could have been good if they’d kept it more realistic.

Starts in the middle of the story

Revisado: 06-10-23

This is not a stand alone sequel, it is part two of a series broken into two parts but neither is a stand alone book. I think it would have been more successful as a single book with a better focus on inspiring story and writing.

The writing is adequate but I can't tell for sure if the writer or the story itself is lacking. Paul Cardall's music is so gorgeous that I was really hoping for more, here. He seems like an amazing person so I was eager to read more about his life. This just seems to fall really short of expectations.

Great premise with shallow writing

Revisado: 03-02-23

This is definitely a fun idea for a story, but what a let down. Very little character development and so many missed opportunities to get to know these ladies better. This could have been a really good book but it was only survivable by the great performance of the narrator injecting some life into the story.

Better than average historical romance

Revisado: 04-01-21

This was still a predictable romance without a lot of plot or character development but for a light historical romance it was better done than many and less formulaic which was a nice change.

What the?

Revisado: 07-24-20

I’ve Listened to a lot of relaxation and calming audios and this is by far the worst. I hate to complain about something Audible offered for free but this was really grating and annoying, not calming.
