I am grateful that the importance of prayer and leaning on God’s promises is included in these books. It was almost too much to hear last in the last book. I am so grateful she didn’t go too far down the rabbit hole of returning Sophie to her blatantly selfish and childish ways. As she said in the book, fear is not the best way to feel alive. However, these are not the emotions I long for. If the intent is to make the reader feel strong emotions during the course of the reading, bravo! Mission accomplished. Thankfully the author didn’t allow things to enter into more graphic imagery point. I was so frustrated but the situation I almost didn’t get thru this book. The main character has a sense of hero syndrome where, in her naïveté, she acts selflessly in an attempt to save others. Victims often act in a similar manner where they feel they have no choice. She does a fantastic job of getting you curious of what’s to come, but some of the characters made me want to throw the book into the fictional river we find in her story! I actually recommend the publisher include information on helpful resources for those who might actually be in similar sounding situations, because partner abuse is a very real thing. However this trilogy is my least favorite of all. I love this author and have most of her books.
