- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wonderful series, another favorite right here. Admiration for Jonathan & his zeal to honor God, David and Saul.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Plot Summary: What happens, When & Where, Central Characters, Major ConflictsRetells the story of Jonathon from the bible, from when he is a teenager in Saul's household, witnessing how his father becomes king, to when his best friend David is on the run from his father and Jonathon must choose between them. Jonathon develops a desire to serve the God of Israel, studies with the prophet Samuel, and struggles to honor his father while trying to do what is right and best with the country. He fights battles against their enemies and finds a kindred soul in David.Style Characterisics: Pacing, clarity, structure, narrative devices, etc.Rivers stays faithful to the Biblical story, but adds detail and characterization. Readers' will be able to relate to Jonathon's struggles, as he strives to do what he believes is right but has to go against his father to do so. Jonathon comes across as a believable and likeable hero, even his deat at the end becomes a heroic sacrifice. David also is a strong character, even Saul's decisions are given plausible motives that hold up. The setting of ancient Israel comes across well. Details like them not being able to make swords that might be glossed over in a Bible reading become important parts of the story.How Good is it?Really makes the familiar story compelling and interesting.
