When I first heard about this blog tour for Amanda Tero’s newest book, I was pretty sure I wanted to be a part. I mean I haven’t read a book or story by her that I didn’t like. And after reading this short work, I knew I wanted to make sure each of you knew about it.
Are sea monsters a real thing? What about fire-breathing dragons? According to the Bible, there is a fire-breathing sea creature who really existed: the leviathan. Amanda Tero brings this dragon to life in her newest short story, “Quest for Leviathan.” Join Anath and his crew of ninety-nine rowers as they face the waves of the Mediterranean Sea and the power of Leviathan.
About the Book
Leviathan took the life of his father. Anath has spent three years preparing for the voyage that will end the threat of Leviathan. Yet as the Valor launches into the depths of the Mediterranean, an inward quest also begins, taking Anath to depths he is not willing to face.
My Review:
When I first heard about this book, I wasn’t too sure I would enjoy it. I’m not a big fan of most biblical fiction, but it was an author I’ve enjoyed, so I decided to try it. I needn’t have worried.
Very well written, this story takes you to the Mediterranean shore and introduces to characters you want to know more about. While short, the story didn’t feel chopped. And the illustrations were a wonderful added touch to the time and place.
While the author admits this time period is difficult to research because of the lack of information, she did a great job, and I didn’t find anything that felt out of place.
I would recommend this book.
