Review: Michal

Michal by Jill Eileen Smith
My rating: 💛💛💛

Michal was always someone I felt sorry for when reading about her in the Bible - being handed over from one husband to another and then back again.

I have never read a book about her and it was nice to bring her to life as well as read about David’s journey to becoming king from a different perspective.

The audio sometimes felt a bit like a computer reading it - the story part was good but sometimes the characters’ dialect felt a bit flat. However, I will listen to the audios for the rest of the series as well.

All in all liked it.

About the book:

Can their epic search for true love survive a father's fury?

The daughter of King Saul, Michal lives a life of privilege--but one that is haunted by her father's unpredictable moods and competition from her beautiful older sister. As a girl, Michal quickly falls for the handsome young harpist David.

But soon after their romance begins, David must flee for his life, leaving Michal at her father's mercy in the prison that is King Saul's palace. Will Michal ever be reunited with David? Or is she doomed to remain separated from him forever?
