This is another one of those "first" books in a series that leaves the reader in the predicament do either doing without the ending of the story, or forking over for the rest of the series. I wish that writers, especially established ones like Ms. Peterson would realize just how annoying and deceptive this practice is. Maybe it is the fault of the publishers. Who knows? I resent that the story is unfinished. So much peripheral stuff through the book, that could have been excluded to leave room for the complete story. I love and believe the "gospel" presentation in the book, so don't lump this review with the others that were bothered by that, but the way the book ended was the wrong way to treat the folks who read her books. A bit "unchristian"???
I've never given a one start review, and to be honest, had this not been for a challenge, I probably would have just removed it from my books entirely, since it's my preference to do that instead of giving a 1 star rating.I kept thinking that maybe something would click and the story would start working for me, but that just didn't happen. I didn't enjoy the characters, the plot was lackluster, the romance was a definite case of insta-love, the villain was over-the-top evil and unrealistic and the historical details just weren't there.The story is rarely seen from Grace's perspective. She is supposedly the main character. In fact, the story jumps around from character to character so often that I never felt like I got to know anyone very well. The sections from the villain, Martin's, POV were laughable. It wasn't until well into the story that any motivation is revealed for his evil machinations, and even then, it wasn't believable. The male lead was just odd; he was in love with Grace but was determined to put Karen in her place?? It just felt strange, like he actually was attracted to her but didn't like her forward ways of thinking. So many scenes stop short of the exciting parts, then move on to another character, then we only find out what happened later when one character relays the story to another. This happened multiple times, so often that it made me feel like I missed all of the scenes that would have made it a good story. Perhaps this was to heighten the suspense, but it just made me feel cheated and like I missed something big.Honestly, I think this is more of a case of "it's me, not you" when it comes to this author's books. Her books are well-loved by many, but they obviously just aren't for me.
To start with, I don't think this was a bad book. I found the premise interesting and was eager to dive into it.There were a few things I took issue with within the first few chapters. I found Grace's mother to be inconsistent, going from who she was when we meet her in the first few pages to who she became upon learning what Paxton did to her daughter. To me, it opened with Mom being one personality and quickly changing to another. Initially, I liked Karen, Grace's governess, but as the book went on, I found myself liking her less and less. There didn't seem to be any reason for her dislike of Peter upon meeting him: she just didn't like him. I got to the point where I was annoyed every time she spoke, whether with him or anyone else. She just seemed mouthy and arrogant to me, and not in a charming way.I liked Grace's character, but I didn't find her defined. In her predicament with Paxton, I didn't find myself feeling sorry for her as much as I found myself sorry for the situation. On the ship headed north, all of a sudden, Karen starts pointing out/talking about how different Grace seemed. I have no doubt someone in Grace's situation would feel liberated in an escape from a cruel fate, but I found it hard to believe that anyone as sheltered as Grace had been could suddenly find themselves carefree and confident over the course of a ride on a ship. She maintained this sort of independence throughout the book without struggle. I just feel the story would have benefited from making her more relatable to life and allowing us to see her struggle and become strong over the course of the novel--perhaps even taking Paxton down herself at book's end, as a result.I have no sympathy for Grace's father at all (not sure if that was the author's intent or not, I'm just saying), regardless of whether Paxton could be held responsible for his demise or not; because of Mr. Hawkins' pride, he was willing to sell his daughter off to avoid accountability for his actions. I do not feel sorry for him in the least.Which brings me to my next point. I didn't much like the way the "good guy" men were portrayed in this novel. I didn't feel men and women were equally yoked, as far as decision-making skills go. Each man--Hawkins, Peter, Bill, (didn't get a clear enough picture of Andrik to make an assessment)--were good in nature, but the women in their lives/women they encountered were always wiser and stronger and advising the ever-stubborn men in their selfish, clueless manners of decision-making. Even as a woman, it frustrated me.As far as the writing goes, (and this is all my personal opinion; I realize others may not agree), I found the use of adverbs excessive. I'm not one to criticize the use of adverbs in general, but in this case, they appear so often as to make the writing seem lazy. There were also instances of sentence fragments, as well as being told what was going on in the story rather than being shown (I.e., with Karen on the boat saying, "Grace, you've changed so much!" And then going on to state all the reasons she felt this way. It took me by surprise because I hadn't seen anything to indicate Grace had changed at all). And when they weren't praying, the majority of characters have at least one instance of talking to themselves as if to make the reader aware of what they are thinking...but we are already in their head. We can already see what they're thinking.To be honest, the budding friendship/romance between Peter and Grace were what I looked forward to the most. I do like the idea of them finding in each other what they've never found in other people, however, I do still see the threat of the same theme, with this "wise woman" changing the "erroneous man". As a Christian, I should hope Peter (one of my favorite characters) may come to know and love God, but I'd like to see it brought about by more than just Grace's hope and wisdom.Overall, I think this is a good book, but with a few tweaks, I think it could be great.
While this book had much to commend it, I don't plan on buying the other books in the series. I was quite surprised to reach the end of book 1 and find nothing really resolved with any of the characters. I also feel like the author introduced too many characters and storylines, without giving the reader much of a chance to really get to know and care about most of them. The main character was supposed to be Grace, but I found other characters far more interesting. I didn't get why Bill and his story were even brought into the book. I agree with the reviewer who pointed out that the men in the book all seemed to be weak or have major character flaws that needed a woman to correct them. I also found it way too preachy, and can't help but wonder just how many people have been saved by reading a Christian romance novel. It seems to be more of preaching to the choir. I appreciate God and faith being interwoven throughout a story, and I love that there are clean, moral love stories that I can enjoy. I just don't like being hit over the head repeatedly with the message of salvation. In addition, I don't appreciate reading a book only to find I need to buy additional books to find out what happens to anyone. If the author had cut out a lot of unnecessary description, preaching, and extra storylines, she would have been able to focus on bringing at least a few situations to completion.
