It's a great book that just needs some help to find a broader audience. <br /><br />I actually found Marcello less interesting in the second book and am growing more attached to Luca. Fortino has some interesting stuff happen in the second one. I hope you read on!Logan E.

I hope I can read it soon. I agree about the rating with this one. When I hear Christian histfic, it doesn't exactly get me too excited about reading it, but your review and others have assured me that's it's so much more so I look forward to reading it!Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-70427202469305148562011-08-03T17:39:12.053-05:002011-08-03T17:39:12.053-05:00I loved this book!

I'm completely intrigued by this epic adventure theme it carries, along with the sweeping romance.

I had no idea it was categorized as "Christian Fiction" and I have to admit, I would've skipped it if I saw it in a bookstore. I'm looking forward to reading the book. I'm also interested if Marcello wins you over too. Funny, how sometimes you get attached to the male lead right away while others need to grow on you. :)Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1798065526948874468.post-39194133328695003552011-08-03T10:10:53.214-05:002011-08-03T10:10:53.214-05:00I just bought this one and can't wait to read ...I just bought this one and can't wait to read it!
