SPARROW'S THOUGHTS:Wow. What I just finished reading is incredible; absolutely incredible.There are, in all seriousness, so many great things I can sit here and share about this novel; the list is endless, really, and my only hope is to do this book justice.Firstly, I have not read any of Lynn Austin's work, this is my first. Secondly, I have not read any Biblical fiction. Ever. Thus, this is my first. Having said that, Keepers of the Covenant is a book that works on every single level I can think of: from ethnic and cultural observations of racial identity, from a storytelling point of view; it covers central themes such as: the construction of a home, of a family, of rules and laws, tradition, customs and religion. It is a story about the essential factors of civilization itself and of individuals that face real life problems in a way that is both painfully logical and extremely emotional.Sharing that last sentence just now makes me realize how incredibly strange and fanatical this may all sound, but how do you even begin to describe perfection? Especially when it is so affecting?Further, what Lynn Austin fashions together through her writing is seriously untouchable. Her storytelling resonated in a way that made me go into my own little world and blurt (literally) things like:"Yes! I have felt exactly like this Mrs. Austin! I have wrestled with these very questions and struggles at one point in my life! So what do I do!?To which Lynn Austin strikingly responds:"The question we have to ask, the question I ask myself is, will we allow grief and disappointment to erect a barricade between us and God? Or will we allow God to be the barricade, the shelter, between us and our sorrow?". . . {stares wide-eyed} . . .More than that though, the novel left me deliberating on how incredibly difficult it is to pull something like this off and to keep a balance between what drives a story and the story itself without making the novel about ideas or beliefs; it's so brilliant! What else can I say without giving any spoilers!?Ultimately, Keepers of the Covenant is a versatile story that is deeply affecting, gripping, thought-provoking and as close to a perfect novel as it can possibly be; I highly recommend this series!I received a copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers for the purpose of this review, it was not required of me to give a positive review, but to solely express my honest thoughts and opinions of this book, which I have done.IN A NUTSHELL:// Lynn Austin's writing is stellar and with an intriguing and gripping plotline like this one, you are sure to get lost in the lives of both the characters and their world// This is one of the most thought-provoking novels I have read to date and I absolutely love it with every fiber of my being!// Brilliant novel! Simple, stunning, out of this world; something very special. Thank you so very much Mrs. Austin for the incredible blessing of giving to us stories like these// With only a quarter into the novel, already I found it difficult to carry out my mundane life (and sleep for that matter), because I could not stop thinking about what would happen next, and how the story would play out! So much so, that I was compelled to pick up my Bible just to see if the story played out as so; I really wanted these fictional characters to have existed because I was way too emotionally involved so to speak// I must confess that I am finding it difficult even now, to pinpoint the exact moment when I came to realize that Keepers of the Covenant was something very special, and I say this because the second I decided to picked up the novel, I had a snarky approach. Unaware of its significance however, I felt its impact immediately// Every character has a significant role to play and every small detail is taken into consideration in a way that takes your heart on an emotional roller coaster// I wholeheartedly and in every respect enjoyed this novel. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone; this book spoke to me on so many deep personal levels and I can’t recommend it enough3 THINGS I LIKED:+ I am absolutely in love with Lynn Austin's storytelling; it is so very clever. The way she pieces these biblical stories into fictional stories is extraordinary. Her ability to create moments that the reader can connect with is beyond anything I have ever read in my life! She made me believe every single word as if I as right there with the characters fearing for their lives, frightened for their well-being, and that is what makes this book so very special+ Most thought-provoking for me was the historical aspect of the novel. Lynn Austin includes and builds on all Jewish beliefs, their customs, their language, their holidays, their practices, their religious struggles with little effort and it all ties in beautifully at the end+ To me, it is a special gift and skill when an author is able to make a solid connection between a novel and its reader; in fact, those are the stories that fly through and remember for years to come. Needless to say, it is a very difficult task to achieve. Lynn Austin is an exception though, as she magically brings Biblical characters to life!3 THINGS I DID NOT LIKE:As much as I like to encourage constructive criticism in this section of my review, I just simply couldn't with this one. As aforementioned, Lynn Austin to me, is untouchable. You just have to be in awe of her, because she is well beyond her yearsOverall Rating:Storyline | 5/5 SparrowhawksCharacters | 5/5 SparrowhawksViolence | ModerateProfanities | NoneSexual Content | MinorMature subjects/themes include, but are limited to: loss of a loved one, death, assault and battery, family strife, divorce, parent-teenage conflict, child abandonment, kidnapping, under-aged drinking, abuse of alcohol and drugs, prostitution, sorcery, antisemitism, genocide, child abuse, spousal abuse, sexual harassment, depression, agnosticism, theftRead full review here: http://livingonborroweddays.com/2014/11/14/sparrows-book-review-keepers-of-the-covenant-the-restoration-chronicles-2-lynn-austin/
People familiar with scripture are most likely also familiar with the story of Esther, how she saved the Jews from being slaughtered by approaching the king when he had not called for her. Keepers of the Covenant approach the story from a different angle, this time through the eyes and experiences of Ezra, a devout man of God from the same era. Ezra lives through the attack upon the Jews, because remember that while the king proclaimed the Jews could defend themselves, he could not undo the permission already given for them to be attacked. So there was an attack on the 13th day of the 12th month, and Ezra, usually a scholar, fought alongside his brothers, defending his people from their enemies. Fast-forward at least a dozen years and we have Ezra asking the new king's permission for the Jews to leave for Jerusalem, their promised land, so they may worship as instructed in the Torah. This story really is about Ezra and his spiritual journey and his putting away the seed of bitterness that has grown within him against any peoples other than Jews. But it also follows the stories of Amina, an Edomite, who was orphaned during the attack, and the story of Reuben, another child, this time Jewish, who for many years of his life loses his way.All right, I did enjoy Keepers of the Covenant in that I wasn't familiar with the events following the life of Esther. I've never read the book of Ezra in The Bible, so had no knowledge of his story. That part of the novel was fascinating, all of the historic references, and watching Ezra draw his people back into a devotion to God. He truly is a keeper of the covenant with God, and whenever that covenant is broken, God returns the children of Israel into bondage until they repent again and turn from their wickedness. I think Ms. Austin did a superb job in capturing the authenticity of Jewish beliefs at the time, and I appreciated her efforts.However, I never bought into her use of dialogue. A lot of the books I read are very strict in their use of language for dialogue, making sure the spoken word matches the era in which it is being spoken. I was constantly yanked out of my focus while reading this book because the spoken sentence structure for the characters was too modern. Words like "kids" or "weird" were used, along with more words than I can remember. It was very distracting, just when I started getting into the story, a conversation between characters, any characters, would snap me out of it. So I would like to see more effort put into making the dialogue authentic.I would have also preferred it if the story had just been about Ezra. All right, yes, I liked Amina a lot. She's a very sweet girl, but the climax could have been achieved just as solidly without her and Reuben. In fact, the book would have been at last 100 pages shorter, and in my eyes, much more concise and effective a read. So yes, while I enjoyed Keepers of the Covenant it could have used a bit of tightening in places. I would, however, still recommend it to friends.- I received this book for free from Bethany House Publishers in exchange for an honest review, which I have given.
