First Light (A. D. Chronicles, Book 1)

I kept hearing about the A.D. Chronicles from several different people in different circles I was in. It seemed like lots of people were raving about them, so I thought I’d give the first book a shot.

Honestly, it took a little while for me to get into this one. I would read a chapter and put the

book down (not a usual occurrence for me). This went on for about a week or so before I finally got into the book enough to read larger chunks at once. Once I did, I enjoyed it, it was just a little confusing for me at the beginning switching between characters/stories and keeping up with who was whom. I did enjoy the first century setting and having the book relate to Bible stories I am familiar with. It’s interesting to see an author’s fictitious take on characters who were mentioned in the Bible and were around during the time of Jesus.

Would I recommend this to my BFF? Yes.
Would I recommend this to my teen daughter? Yes.

I did enjoy the book, once I finally got into it, but it is not one that made me feel I must immediately rush out and read the next one. So, a solid 4 of 5 stars.

An attempt to use pseudo-history of Christ's final weeks as an persuader. No idea how this might work with the unsure or unconverted but I'd think not. Quite readable but plot extremely unlikely!
