Fighting Lamanites was easy compared to returning to the life of a village girl.
When Captain Helaman takes back the cities in the south, the Nephites begin to return to their homes. But for Keturah, returning home means leaving the warriors she has come to love and hurting the one she loves the most. She wants to honor her family's wishes, but honor will come at a steep price.
Fall in love with the Stripling Warriors in this unforgettable conclusion to the Daughter of Helaman trilogy.
Misty is the author of the stripling warrior novels, a Latter-day Saint young adult series about a group of young Ammonite warriors in 60 BC. With action, adventure, and romance, her characters will inspire you and your teen reader.
Some action, lots of waiting and down time it felt. Nice wrap up. Woo hoo!! *sigh* the series is kind of boring. Ket is annoying but I'm glad she's able to defend herself, her people and her family. I like that part (where she holds her own.)
I didn't realize it was the last book of Ket's story. Looks like next is another's story.
The war that continues between the Nephites and Lamanites found Katurah in many battles but the war in her heart is much bigger in deciding between Zeke and Gideon.
This book had moments of excitement with war and fighting. But for most of it, it was slow with her figuring out Ketura mind and heart. I too was torn between her decisions, but I'm so glad she made the choices she did.
I love Misty Moncur’s books! This is another insightful and thought provoking book in the Stripling Warrior Series and a perfect ending to Keturah’s story! Misty is really very talented. This book is a lot less action packed than the last one. Keturah has more of an emotional battle in this one as she wars in her heart over who she is, who she should be, and who she should be with - of course all while about every boy still can’t help falling in love with her and of course slitting throats.
This book also strengthens and defines many incredible side characters. They show their strength, faith, weaknesses and quirky personalities that make me want to be their friends. Of course I am now in love with them and want to read about their ‘happily ever after’ too. I think I’d like about 12 sequels to this book :). Keep them coming Misty!
This book has great spiritual and thought provoking depth. Though it is centered around the teachings taught in the Book of Mormon (where it's parent story came from) the principles and themes are applicable to all. Great discussion topics from this book could be:
What does it mean to love/ what is healthy love and how to show it Forgiveness Perspective Defining healthy relationships How trials can be blessings
This is a clean book. There is matter-of-fact violence (not gory). I would feel comfortable recommending it to all readers and ages. It is best read as the third book of this series. You could read it alone, but I think you would lose much of the impact. Start from the beginning! So worth it!
