PDF sallow.co ↠ Jezebel Epub À jezebel mobile, Jezebel PDF/EPUBI expected to love this book because I enjoy historical fiction and especially biblical fiction very much This novel did have some good things going for it an unusual perspective on the Bible an easy to read style and some clever plot twists However it had several serious drawbacks in my opinion many examples of sloppy writing; some serious anachronisms silk was far too readily available; too much in your face research the author was very keen to assure us that she knew what Tyrian purple was and worst of all the shameless blackening of certain characters' reputations in flagrant defiance of the verdict of his
PDF sallow.co ↠ Jezebel Epub À jezebel mobile, Jezebel PDF/EPUBThe name Jezebel is so known but I do not know anything about the woman other than the loose image I do not know her story or her place in history Whilst I am realistic enough to know that this is fiction and has been written as a 'love' story within history I found myself drawn and in to Jezebel's story and environment Removing all the 'romance' and cleanses of the story telling I recognised that Jezebel has her place in the history of the bible and of that region I am determined to know of her I put the book down with a sadness that monotheism is so cruel and intolerant It was then and is still And yet the religions of many gods seem to recognise that everything and everyone has a place and can work together

PDF sallow.co ↠ Jezebel Epub À jezebel mobile, Jezebel PDF/EPUBI came to this story as it had been chosen for a book club I belong to Since the subject matter is getting close to the period I like to write about it is set only a few hundred years later and in the same general region as `In a Milk and Honeyed Land` I was unsure what I would think of it I was acutely aware of the risk of judging it much strictly than an euivalent book from another periodIn balance for me this was a four star book The historical background had been looked into to a degree though I suspect almost entirely from the pages of the Hebrew Bible The characterisation of the main characters especially Jezebel herself and her immediate retinue was reasonably convincing if not really tied effectively into the historical setting It read fairly well and the continuity errors that others have spotted did not bother me But the main problem I had was that I could not really identify with the key people nor feel much emotion positive

PDF sallow.co ↠ Jezebel Epub À jezebel mobile, Jezebel PDF/EPUBI have mixed feelings about this book on the one hand I like the way that the Biblical figure of Jezebel is fleshed out; on the other I don't like the way that the prophets Elijah and Elishah as depicted as dirty old men with designs on Jezebel herself I think this is definitely a very romanticised view of Jezebel and if you don't know your Bible or want just to accept this as a piece of fiction then you'll probably enjoy iy It's certainly worth reading but I found the author's depiction of Judaism in general and the two prophets in particular distasteful to say the least

PDF sallow.co ↠ Jezebel Epub À jezebel mobile, Jezebel PDF/EPUBDisclaimer I read this a while ago so I can't recall specifics just the impressions the book made on me Which may be slightly off I would go back and reread it but honestly I can't manage the slog right now when there are far interesting reads Maybe one day if so I'll update this reviewSo Jezebel was okayI love iconic strong women of influence through history I could binge read on the various Egyptian princesses and Chief Royal wives all day and was looking for the same political intrigue exotic flavour and vibrant characters in JezebelIt partially delivered but I found the character of Jezebel a little tooummpolished?

PDF sallow.co ↠ Jezebel Epub À jezebel mobile, Jezebel PDF/EPUBDNF on page 98 I had high hopes for this Jezebel is an incredibly famous name but her story? Not so much Although going into this I knew it is historical fiction but it didn't change the fact that I was super excited to read about Jezebel and the conflicts between the kingdoms and whatnot The beginning was promising featuring Jezebel realising she has to get married Right this is fairly typical for historical fiction; cue the angst and the I don't want to get married yet bullshit However she just accepts it so that's a bit of a change What I don't lik
PDF sallow.co ↠ Jezebel Epub À jezebel mobile, Jezebel PDF/EPUBI have always loved Biblical stories So I was looking forward in reading this book and I was not disappointed It is easy and fast paced to read and the novel is full of historical details in relation to the wars taking place at that time and the different cultures of the Judaens the Israelites and the Phoenicians I must admit that I did not know anything about Jezebel's story and this novel left me intrigued That's the beauty of historical fiction I guess The historical accuracy is however very debatable some of the events described in the novel as being detrimental to Jezebel were apparently committed by herself to others The novel describes the main heroine as this perfect woman who has never wronged in her life making the character less relatable to the reader and unfortunately due to this at times her too immaculate character is rendered unbelievable
