Welcome to the Blog Tour for A Journey to Unshakable Faith by Sydney Witbeck, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
Title: A Journey to Unshakable Faith
Series: Journeys of Faith #1
Author: Sydney Witbeck
Left with no other option, fourteen-year-old Esther is forced to leave the castle for her own safety, not knowing if she will ever see her mother and father again. With only a pack of food and her faithful horse Onyx, Esther sets off on an adventure to find her mother’s people. But the enemy is never far behind, closing in on the princess who eludes them. Will she be able to make it to safety? And will she ever see her parents again?
When all hope seems lost, Esther soon finds that God never leaves His children on their own. At every turn, Esther meets friendly faces willing to help her as she strives to find a way to get back to her parents. With only her faith in God as her weapon, Esther turns back to home, determined to have the victory once and for all. But will that be enough? It seems that Esther will never see her parents in this world again. And all hope seems lost when Esther is finally captured and hidden away. It’s time for the villagers to take up arms and fight for their freedom. Will they prevail? Or will evil finally win? The true victory lies in finding a faith that is unshakable.
My Review:
When Princess Esther is forced to flee her kingdom and seek refuge with her mother’s family, she has to trust God that he’ll protect her. The trip is not without its difficulties and dangers, but thanks to those who help her, she arrives safely. She is befriended by the kind and fiercely loyal, Reia, who not only helps her find her family’s village but also chooses to make the long and arduous trip of returning to the castle.
This Medieval tale reminded me of the Biblical story of Esther, but with a couple of twists. I enjoyed how Taren plays a role in aiding Esther and confronting the dastardly Malon. Esther is going to make a great queen when the time comes having been through trials and hardships. She understands those in need and has lived among the villagers for an extended period of time.
Things to enjoy:
good vs. evil
strong FMC
lovable side characters
Biblical references
canine companion
I enjoyed the plot and look forward to seeing what will happen to Esther. This is a terrific book for teens through adults and one that I recommend reading.
I received a complimentary copy of the book through Just Read Tours. All opinions expressed are my own with no obligation to write a positive review.
