A CROWN OF CHAINS: BOOK OF THE MONTH
I wanted to spotlight A Crown of Chains by Erin Phillips as my pick for the Book of the Month!
A Crown of Chains is a YA fantasy retelling of the Biblical story of Queen Esther, with fresh twists based on the original context in this timeless tale of miracles in the midst of forgotten faith.
Genre: Upper YA Fantasy Retelling
Pages: 430
What makes this book different from those in its genre? The Author Erin Phillips has this to say, “When compared to other retellings of Esther, you'll find A Crown of Chains doesn't shy away from or change the realities of Esther's story, addressing the sexual assault in her story with compassion and appropriateness for teens. It is also definitely a page-turner with a heart-pounding pace that will keep you on the edge of your seat with political intrigue, forbidden romance, and dire stakes!”
Me: "What do you hope your readers will gain from reading your book?”
Erin: “Hope and comfort, to see that God never abandons us, even when we have forgotten Him, and that He is able to take even the most evil deeds of man and use them to do great good. Even in the darkness, there is always light, if only a candle in a window.”
A quote from the book: "If death is all that awaits me, then I won’t waste it."
What readers are saying about A Crown of Chains:
“I cannot stop thinking about this book! Brilliant and imaginative, A Crown of Chains offers a fresh take on the Biblical story of Esther, infusing the fantastical with an unmistakable sense of purpose. Erin Phillips is a brave voice in the YA genre. I’ll be counting down the days until her next release.” -Caroline George, author of Dearest Josephine and The Summer We Forgot (HarperCollins)
“A Crown of Chains by Erin Phillips left me speechless. There were times I had to put this thought-provoking book down just to process my emotions, only to pick it back up again, unable to stay away from the story for long. Roxana’s tale is one of heartbreak and intrigue, despair and hope. Despite knowing the familiar story of Esther, I still found myself surprised by this fresh and imaginative take on the Biblical narrative. Fans of Kiera Cass and Tosca Lee will rejoice over this breakout novel that inspires readers to cling to faith even in the darkest of times.” — Sara Ella, award-winning author of the Unblemished trilogy, Coral, and The Wonderland Trials
