Star of Babylon

by Bethany N. Wallace

A lonely king. A woman of courage. An evil conspiracy. From a humble Hebrew girl to queen of Shushan, Esther has no way of knowing that she has a divine purpose to fulfil. When she learns that wicked Haman, the king’s high official, is plotting the widespread destruction of the Jews, she uses her position to try to rescue her people. But that requires revealing that she herself is a Jew. Will Haman’s plot succeed? And will Esther’s request for an audience with the king bring her certain death? A novel based upon the biblical account of Queen Esther. “Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this.” Esther 4:14

This was an interesting interpretation of the story of Esther. I found it difficult to read in parts because of some major issues with editing (for kindle). I also found the portrayel of Esther as converting everyone she meets to the Jewish faith whilst hiding her heritage a bit too romantically inclined.

A free Kindle download--quick read--story of Esther. Not as good as "One Night with the King", but a nice read of my favorite Bible story. Finished it in a day.
