[Mimi · Rating 2 out of 5]

Interestingly, the family at the center of this historical fiction have been Christian since the time of Christ and yet they somehow manage to never have any of the sacraments, worship in a church, and have an extreme Protestant understanding of salvation and sin. The story, while interesting, was bogged down by complaints about Constantine making Christianity legal and how that will (negatively) affect the faith.

This is a good book. I rated it with four stars, because it does have an inappropriate theme in it (not good for 14 & under because of an inappropriate love scene). But like i said, it was a good book. It's full of adventure, romance, it's like time traveling to A.D. 300, and it has good character development. Better for older teenagers in my opinion.

The story was really good, but there were a couple unnecessary things in it, so I probably wouldn't recommend it for that reason.
