Another Awesome Review
Here’s another review for my novel, A Beautiful Glittering Lie, that I would like to share with you.
(By Anonymous)
The novel is presented as a prequel to the author’s first novel, A Beckoning Hellfire. For someone who has not read it yet, it will be a very interesting story after the prequel. For someone who has read it will be still more interesting to know what lead to it all.
The style is fast paced and exciting but sometimes the descriptive paragraphs about the battle become long-winding. The characters are very well formed and come out as very real three dimensional people with a gamut of feelings and expressions. Especially likable is the chemistry between Hiram and Caroline and their unflinching trust and understanding. The plot is well knit and one incident flows into another.
A Beautiful Glittering Lie, the dream of bravery, adventure gallantry and Chivalry, pulls David to enlist, and remains intact for him till the end when the children are waiting for Hiram to return home on Christmas.
