Solomon’s tenderness, and sacrifice, and loving care.

Meeting all kinds of new people and exploring different cultures in Parvin’s futuristic world is great. The travels to Russia and whatnot, cool and intriguing. The dystopian aspect, awesome as always! *grins* Wilbur’s suits and technology stuff, I love it more each new book I read, I think! So interesting and fun. *huggles books and Parvin and everything* This tale of seeking God and shalom is so poignant and relatable and just touches my heart beyond what I can explain. Parvin’s on-going journey to deeper trust. I think they reveal a bit of Nadine Brandes’s soul. THESE BOOKS! They’re so amazing and meaningful and harsh and real … and beautiful. The story has taught me something about faith and life. I find Nadine’s books easy and a delight to read, and was absolutely thrilled to be immersed back into this fascinating futuristic world by reading A Time to Rise! *sighs and tears and fangirling* The characters have etched themselves on my heart. Her words flow wonderfully, pulling us into the story-pulling us closer to Parvin’s heart. I will say it again, Nadine Brandes does the YA, dystopian, first-person writing style superbly. What awaits Parvin, Solomon, and their friends on the last leg of their quest? It is time to defeat the Council and bring down the Wall.īut more epic journeys, discoveries, and life-lessons are ahead. And stronger than ever for her faith has grown leaps and bounds through the perilous journey she’s been on. They are thrilling, soul-stirring, and just incredible! And simply reading this author's lovely writing style! I can't believe this amazing dystopian series is over! *tears* Fellow readers, you don't want to miss A Time to Rise and the two proceeding novels. And a beautiful conclusion it is! It was so awesome to be back, journeying and growing and finding shalom with Parvin and Solomon.
