My rating: 5 of 5 stars
As funny as it might sound, when I began reading this book, I wanted to stop. I am not a major aficionado of fiction books. This got me sort of hesitant to invest my time in it. I am one of those individuals who prefer viewing a motion picture to perusing a fiction novel.
With every one desire not to like this book before I even began, I constrained myself to at any rate start and stop midway on the off chance that I can't adapt. I opened and thought of dropping the book after 5% into the book. Perhaps, this is the life of one who isn't into fiction novels.
In any case, I attempted to peruse some more, and that was the point I got hooked; I mean, Celena got me where she needed me. Three hours and a few minutes invested in this book felt like 20min. At the point when I completed the material, I quickly checked on Amazon for the continuation. Unfortunately! It's not yet out. This is the tale of how the Songbird and the Secret by Celena M. Janton changed my contemplations about fiction novels.
The story was good, and I was overwhelmed by how the author could navigate through different ages in time and interface everything together wonderfully. I could fit myself into every period and get a clear picture with a reasonable comprehension of the image the author was trying to paint.
I became enamored with the characters in the book after meeting them and understanding their feature; this made me valued the book some more. My most loved characters are Katharina and Melissa; they both have a lovely personality.
The most excellent virtue that this book holds was the little messages that were buried in the heart of the book, as one who appreciates reading Christian non-fiction books, inspirational books, and motivational books. I needed more on the table, aside from the all-around organized and delightful storyline. Prepare to have your mind blown; I got that from this book. There were some astounding messages that this book sent out effortlessly. It spoke about forgiveness, self-love, patience, and salvation. I am pleased with the fact that the author was not all about giving her readers a fantastic story. She was also in the business of sharing some gems that are very important in life.
The part that truly got to me was the point at which a character in the book got saved. The customary procedure of looking for salvation is in the church; on most occasions when the clergymen make an altar call. I tapped my self hard when one of my most loved characters got saved while she locked herself up in the restroom.
The crazy part was that she did it alone. She didn't have to hold up till Sunday or any service day to get saved. She didn't require a minister to lay his hands on her. She didn't do it in a conducive condition. She did it in the toilet, the school's latrine?! For me, the school's bathroom is not a place I want to be; I don't know about you. The truth remains that it doesn't matter where you are calling out from; God hears, he sees, and he is more than capable of delivering. Enough of my whining, go get a copy for your self.
As for me, I can't wait for the next series to be launched.
