Pretty standard premise pretty standard problems but good description of people such that it is easy to care about what happens to them.
Great character development

Pretty standard premise pretty standard problems but good description of people such that it is easy to care about what happens to them.
The plot was interesting but the actual story and dialogue is like something my 13 year old would enjoy. I actually had to go back and check it as an adult book and not pre-teen. The dialogue is wooden to say the least. The story is light and lacking detail or character. I hate being..
I have read all of this series up ti this point. Loved everyone. The growth of Jacob has been wonderful to see.
The Relic is an entertaining novel and is a good choice when you want a light and simple read, say over a weekend beach trip. While we do get some back story on the main characters, they never quite evolve beyond cookie cutter and often seem cliche. The plot is very interesting, activating daydreamed thoughts..
It’s slow to start, but once it gets to Vincent’s adult years it really takes off. I cried several times. It was beautifully detailed and so very heart-wrenching… I’ll forever look at his paintings with a more empathetic eye!
I DON’T understand why they don’t see how having a narrator so AWFUL can RUIN the story! His voice for the female was CRINGE-WORTHY, and his voices for the male characters SUCKED too!! He also sounded robotic with some kind of weird sensei type voice…. I mean I couldn’t even get into the story because..
A series of true stories of the few who stood for the oppressed against terrible odds. The writer weaves tales of courage and morality in the face of past , present and future immoral horrors.
