Esther has been a favourite and this book was no exception

In her wildest dreams, Esther could never have imagined that she would end up as queen of Persia. Yet she knows better than to become complacent. Another of Xerxes’s wives is vying for position, and his closest advisor has a deep and dangerous grudge against Esther’s adoptive father. Caught in the middle of palace politics, Esther will find herself in an impossible position: risk her life or consign her people to annihilation.

My Thoughts
This story on the life of Esther was definitely not one to be missed and I enjoyed every minute of it.
A first for me by this author, but I was eagerly anticipated the read and I wasn’t disappointed. I love how she took the characters and fleshed them out. Esther and Modercai, though a minority, God used them to save a nation. The fact that though it’s fiction, she stays true to the story is another added bonus.
The characters were real and relatable. I love that she included Vashti into the story as part of the story we got to kind of know more about her and what she was thinking. Xerxes too, although he was really selfish and paranoid and depended more on men and what his armies could do.
It was definitely a fun and exciting read.
