Spires of Stone
Bethany Hansen wasn't sure when or if she would ever see Benjamin Adams again. She also told herself that it didn't matter. But when Ben and his two brothers come home after more than two years of serving a mission to the Eastern states, her feelings of heartache and anger also return -- fiercer than ever. And so do Ben's feelings for her. Good-naturedly, Ben's brothers attempt to reunite the two, even as they separately vie for Bethany's younger sister, Hannah. What follows is a charming historical romance complete with wonderful characters and witty dialogue that explores the redemption and power of finding -- and rediscovering -- true love.

I wasn't planning on liking this book, I'll be honest. I don't usually (okay, EVER) read books in the LDS genre because I usually find them sappy and poorly written. But this one engaged me from the beginning and I admit to liking it a lot. This is one LDS author that I think I will read more of!

I loved reading this book! This book is a great example of what happens when we jump to conclusions, and we don't let the person, that we think has betrayed our trust, explain what has truly happened.
It also makes me want to look into our family history, since I married into the "Lyon" family. I am curious if the Lyons mentioned in this book are related to my husband!

A romance set in historical times, and feed the fuel for mixed emotions all the way to the end. You end up loving every minute.

I read this for my book club. Religious fiction was my genre of choice when I was a preteen, so I was interested to see how I'd like this one now that my reading life is significantly more diverse. I believe I would have liked it back when I was 13. It has all the elements I required: cute characters, a little romantic drama, and a happy ending. Reminiscing about my old reading preferences was fun, but the book itself was painfully mediocre. 🫣 I cringed through most of it.
*spoilers ahead*
The characters were flat. It felt like the author wrote all the characters' names on a whiteboard, listed two or three general traits under each, and called that "good enough" for character development. Their motivations and interactions felt shallow and unnatural. The fighting between Bethany and Ben was ridiculous-- I don't feel like the Much Ado About Nothing vibes did any favors for their relationship or character development. The brothers' interactions were weird-- do Ben and Phillip have any self-respect? They were weirdly passive for being "honorable" guys. Hannah had the most potential as a character, but even she disappointed me. I wanted to watch her fall for Phillip, not just mention that it happened near the end of the book. (What I'd give for a little more "show, don't tell" with both relationships.) The ending was also too sweet...and completely absurd. There was zero indication that Claude had the desire or capacity to act selflessly. Claude magically feeling remorse and making everything right at the end felt completely unbelievable.

Annette Lyon has made quite a name for herself in the publishing world in the years since she released her first book. The winner of the 2007 Best in State Medal for Fiction, Lyon has brought readers not only well-written LDS romance, but also introduced them to a little state history through her temple series. The latest installment. Spires of Stone, is set in Salt Lake City, in the late 1860s.
Research plays an important part in a novel such as this, and Lyon says, “I've been fortunate to find wonderful resources that actual historians have unearthed and compiled. For Spires of Stone I relied on a number of resources, but the most valuable was a thesis about the Salt Lake temple written by Wallace Alan Raynor. It was written some time ago and included interviews with people who had actually worked on the temple and were still alive. Fascinating and priceless information.”
But history is not the only research she used for this particular novel. “Back when I was writing contemporary novels,” she says. “I thought it would be fun to do a modern-day retelling of Shakespeare's Much Ado about Nothing. Then I found my historical niche and felt like I had arrived home, writing-wise. At that point I tossed out the idea of a retelling, but eventually it dawned on me that there was no reason I couldn't tell the story in the 1800s. Those familiar with the original will notice many similarities, especially in some of the early dialogue. Some things are different, of course, like how I combined two characters from the play into one. Plus, my ending doesn't quite match because some characters started making decisions I hadn't expected. But the basic storyline and themes are the same.”
Spires of Stone is the third book Annette Lyon has published which uses a Utah temple as its backdrop, yet each novel is a stand-alone. “My first historical novel, House on the Hill (focusing on the Logan temple), had one character in the epilogue whose story doesn't wrap up in a tidy bow,” she says. “Readers insisted that I tell what happened to him next. As a result, my second temple book, At the Journey's End (the St. George temple), is the rest of his story, although you don't have to read the first book to pick up that one, and aside from the hero and his mother, no one else from House on the Hill appears in the book. Spires of Stone begins much earlier than either of the first two and has a completely different cast of characters. The story is unconnected to the first two books as well,” She adds, “Just for fun, I put in two characters from House on the Hill in very brief cameos as a hello to those readers who might recognize them from before.” Fans of the historical series will enjoy looking for them in this latest installment.
But the series is not over yet. Lyon says, “I have a book coming out in May 2009 about Manti and its temple, which will complete the four oldest temples in Utah. ”
She has considered writing about the more contemporary novels, and says she might do “a handful of the newer ones.” But she is quick to add, “Historical fiction is my forte. ”
When asked why readers should pick up a copy of one of her books, Lyon says, “First and foremost, because they're fun, gripping stories.” As a reader, I’d have to agree. Lyon continues, “I love hearing that a scene made readers laugh or cry or gave them chills—or even better, kept them reading until 4 o'clock in the morning. If I've entertained you, I've done my job. If you happen to learn something about what life was like in Utah back in the 1800s, so much the better, but that's not my goal. My goal is to entertain.”
Perhaps it was that love of entertainment that first drew Lyon into books in the first place, an avid reader, she says her favorite book as a teenager was The Blue Castle, by LM Montgomery. “She's best known for Anne of Green Gables (which I also loved),” Lyon says. “But this book just resonated with me. It has great characters with depth and humanity. The story had me laughing and crying and wishing it were longer. It's still one of my favorites.”
In addition to writing, Annette Lyon also gives presentations about writing to local groups. Her advice to budding writers is, “Learn all you can about the craft: go to conferences and workshops, read books on writing, enter contests for feedback, and write like crazy. When you're ready, join a critique group. Attending a good group was the single best thing I ever did for my writing.” She also warns that, “getting a book contract is not the finish line, but the beginning of an entirely new race. Somehow I thought I would feel as if I had arrived, that all my writing problems would be over. But the self-doubt continues. So does writer's block. New (and just as daunting) challenges creep in. The great part, of course, is the success thrown into all that, which keeps you going during the rough patches.”
She reminds writers “acceptance and rejection are not personal decisions. They're business decisions, marketing decisions: Will this sell? Will this make our company a profit? Is it a good fit with our tried and true audience? When you as a writer can consciously take the personal nature out of the equation, rejection doesn't sting so much, and you can have a better idea of which markets to target and how to make your work fit the markets you're aiming for.”
And Annette has found success in that market.

This is one of these books where you are waiting for the bad guy to get his comeuppance, hahaha! But redemption is of course in the works...

I felt a lot of emotion reading this story. But, I have to say that the ending was an emotional "high".

Starts out a bit cheesy typical of Church fiction. A fun, quick, read with a touching ending.

This was an interesting story set against the backdrop of the construction of the Salt Lake Temple. Considering the title of the book, I might have been expecting more about the temple, but the amount that was there was just right. It has a simple plot, compelling characters, and a good message. Disclaimer: I listened to the audiobook and didn't like the narrator, so that probably influenced my impression of the book.

I do not read a lot of LDS fiction. One reason being that it is difficult to find LDS themed books in my neck of the woods. I'd have to buy them, which leads to the second reason I don't read a lot of LDS fiction. I don't want to spend money on a book I am not likely to enjoy, which has been my experience with most of the LDS fiction I have read.
So why did I decide to read Spires of Stone by Annette Lyon? Because, like Shannon Hales books I have been reading a lot about this book on other people's blogs. Thanks to inter-library loan and the good people at the Davis county library in Utah, I was able to read this book without having to buy it.
So, I did not know what to expect from this book but decided I needed to keep an open mind. I'd heard it was a redux of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, my favorite Shakespeare play, so I figured I'd either hate it or love it. It turned out I just kinda liked it, but did not totally hate it.
Here is the teaser from the book:
"Bethany Hansen wasn't sure when or if she would ever see Benjamin Adams again. She also told herself that it didn't matter. But when Ben and his two brothers come home after more than two years of serving a mission to the Eastern states, her feelings of heartache and anger also return—fiercer than ever. And so do Ben's feelings for her.
Good-naturedly, Ben's brothers attempt to reunite the two, even as they separately vie for Bethany's younger sister, Hannah. What follows is a charming historical romance complete with wonderful characters and witty dialogue that explores the redemption and power of finding—and rediscovering—true love."
I did enjoy the Bethany/Ben storyline and thought Lyon did a decent job with the interpretation of the original Beatrice/Benedick story. However, I felt most of the characters were underdeveloped and flat. (This is one of the problems I have with this genre.) Claude was supposedly a ladies man who could charm anyone but he seemed dopey and uncommunicative. I've never seen a ladies man who spent so much time moping around, shuffling his feet and looking at the dirt at his feet. I only knew he was a ladies man because I was told he was. Not because that is how the character was developed.
I did not really ever get a feel for Phillip at all and I thought there were several parts of the story that did not make much sense. Like when Phillip confesses his feelings about Hannah to Claude but nothing is ever said or done about it again and they go on as if there is not this big huge elephant standing in the room. I also did not know if the brothers hated Claude or loved him. They were hitting him, calling him a loser and then were surprised when he moved out?
I did enjoy the Much Ado About Nothing overtone and was glad that the book was not preachy (another problem I have with this genre). The book seemed to be very well researched and Lyon even included a historical note at the end which was interesting.

Spires of Stone is the third book in Annette Lyon's "temple series". Ironically, this book takes place chronologically before her other temple books. Fans of House on the Hill and At the Journey's End will love the cameo appearance of Abe Franklin--as a young boy.
In the author notes, Lyon mentions that the plot is loosely based on the Shakespeare play, Much Ado About Nothing. So I went to her website to see if she expounded on it. And of course she did. It doesn't follow the play precisely, but there are fun elements that you will recognize.
Spires of Stone is centered on the building of the Salt Lake Temple. It's filled with rich historical details of both a slice of time in the temple-building process (remember it took 40 odd years to complete) and an epilogue scene that ties everything together so the most avid historian will be satisfied.
But what I liked best were the characters. Essentially there is a romance thread between two brothers and two wome--who happen to be sisters. Most fascinating is the Ben and Bethany match. They absolutely despise each other in the beginning because of a terrible misunderstanding that took place before Ben's mission. The second pairing is really a love triangle (one of my favorite plot elements in any romance) between Hannah, Claude, and Phillip. Will the good guy get the girl in the end? I'll let you read it to find out.

Bethany and Ben: they used to be in love, but are now in hate. They can't even pass by each other without exchanging verbal blows. Unfortunately, he's just come back from his mission to the Eastern states, so now they'll be seeing a lot more of each other.
Meanwhile, his two younger brothers (also newly returned from missions) are vying for the affection of Bethany's little sister Hannah.
There was a lot that I liked about this one. The sibling relationships were especially well done. The hard truth that rumors gone wild can ruin someone's life was vividly portrayed. There's an underlying message of hope and redemption; that anyone can choose to change for the better.
While there was a little bit of the temple-building history added in, it was a much smaller part of the story this time. I missed that and wanted more! It was a bit predictable--particularly in the younger sister's romance. There was a Right Choice and everything worked out toward that end.
As expected, completely clean read. It is refreshing to have authors you can trust not to add in objectionable content.

I've read several reviews and comments about how Spires of Stone is a (somewhat) modern re-telling of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. Sadly, other than the title, I'm not all that familiar with the play. Too bad, because I've liked a lot of re-tellings that I've read. They add an extra bit of fun to a new novel.
This third book in Annette Lyon's Temple Series was an enjoyable read. It didn't seem to have as many historical tidbits as the previous book in the series, but focused more on a few relationships.
Ben and Bethany were driven apart due to a misunderstanding. They combat with hurtful words whenever are in each others' presence, and try to encourage those around them that the opposite sex is horrible and marriage is a bad idea.
Two of Ben's brothers fall for Bethany's sister Hannah, and she has a hard time seeing that one of them is a scoundrel.
The ending was a nice happily ever after for all involved, and the historical details about the building of the Salt Lake Temple were interesting.

I really enjoyed this romance novel taking place in 1867 with the construction of the Salt Lake temple as a backdrop and then again later in 1892 at the temple's capstone ceremony. I had a hard time putting the book down because I found myself getting wrapped up in the characters and the spirit of their relationships wondering if Claude or Phillip would end up with Hannah and whether Ben and Bethany could put their differences aside. It was an entertaining book with many twists and turns that held my attention. Kudos Annette!

This was a historical somewhat romance story. There were 3 Adams brothers and 2 Hansen sisters. It all involved around their lives. The 3 brothers finished up serving a mission in the Eastern States. Claude one of the brothers left baggage behind and came home to woo one of the sisters that another brother liked very much. They did some work hauling stones down for the S.L. Temple after coming home from their missions. There was enough action and learning the power of forgiveness to hold your attention.

A pleasant little love story set in the late 1800's of Salt Lake City. It was loosely based on Shakespeares "Much Ado About Nothing". I really enjoyed it, it was a fun read. I think I might even read more from Annette Lyon, she is coming to our Book Club this month, and I'm looking forward to meeting her.

The contemporary dialog keeps pulling me out of the historical time period the story is suppost to be in.
One of the couples , Bethany & Benjamin, are very much like Beatrice and Bernard from Much Ado About Nothing. They even use some of the Shakespeare lines.
As the story goes on, I can see that it is a re-telling of Much Ado About Nothing.

A very good book and it was interesting learning a little more about the construction of the SL temple. I'm not sure that the person that did the cover read the book... the girls in my imagination look nothing like that!

I just started this book today. My Mom gave it to me last Christmas,(2007). I found a letter Mogie had written to me that Christmas, it was fun to read it again. So more than a year later I am starting it.

This was a spin off one of my favorite Shakespeare plays Much Ado About Nothing. It was just different enough that I'm not certain who took on the character of the prince Don Pedro. I just have a guess.
February 19, 2014
This book kept my attention the entire time, not common for Annette Lyon. I am not into her style of writing, I guess, but this book proved otherwise. Maybe because it tells two stories at the same time. It was a good, interesting read that I may repeat in the future.
