I almost decided against reading this book because my favorite character Haddasah is not featured. I'm glad I changed my mind.

I gave it two stars rather than one only because it finished out a storyline from an earlier book, which I actually liked, but I think 1 1/2 stars would have been better.

    <body><![CDATA[This is the fourth Francine Rivers book I've read and like the other ones it does not dissapoint. One of my favorite quotes from this book is: &quot;In all things show yourself to be a pattern of him. To the pure, Rizpah, all things are pure. As you are pure in Christ. Speak of these things to him. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64354739">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This one seemed even more unrealistic than the second book.  Not to mention that i find Atretes increasingly frustrating as well... But if you like this type of book- historical Christian fiction with a little romance (and a little melodramatic, in my opinion)- then this is a good read.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was an amazing series from beginning to end.  This book was more stressful than the others in my oppinion.  It was darker and the battles and struggles with the characters was more internal with good and evil and truth against falseness.  <br/><br/>Being a mother you feel for Rizpah and Caleb...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45545587">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was my least favorite book of the trilogy by far.  I had to only give it 3 stars due to the last third of the book.  The plot got really &quot;dark&quot; and was difficult for me to enjoy.  I loved the first two books and was hoping that Hadassah and Marcus would have at least had a small part ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72146233">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Book #3 in the Mark of the Lion trilogy.  This &quot;could&quot; be skipped or read alone, but you will get more from it by having read the other two--in order.  <br/><br/>The focus is on Atretes here.  He was warped by his years as a gladiator and does not know how to be a human being anymore.  H...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10155681">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was good, but my least favorite out of the series of 3. Although some of the characters are from the first 2 books, you could read this book without having read the other two. A good read, but not quite as good as the first 2. ]]></body>
