BookwormMama14 (18 KP) rated Shelter of the Most High (Cities of Refuge, #2) in Books
Jan 2, 2019
I absolutely love discovering what life was like in ancient times. Cossette brings the lives of these people and their cultures to life in ways that will astound you. Sofea grew up in an isolated culture. Throughout this story, she is on a journey to learn who this God of the Hebrews is. His gentleness, His kindness, His love for His children. Eitan is a swoony hero in all his long-haired, bearded manliness...A protector and a fighter. Don't you dare come between him and those he loves...You will regret it. I loved watching their romance unfold. With two cultures clashing, you can imagine that it wasn't all smooth. But the results were definitely worth it.
I highly recommend Connilynn's stories (yes, all of them). She opens the history books for us in a way that is unique and compelling. I can not get enough of her stories, and neither will you!
I received a complimentary copy of Shelter of the Most High from the publishers. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

Here you go, she looks awesome throughout.
You want Javier Bardem imposing and broody?
Fill your boots; imposing and broody throughout.
You want biblical allegories?
Have ALL the allegories.
You want pointless pretention masquerading as art?
(sigh) Here's ALL THE POINTLESS PRETENTION MASQUERADING AS ART!
There is so much about this movies to find annoying that it seems churlish to single just one or two out. So, in lieu of that, I will merely recount the level of annoying critique concerning this movie that I have seen on other sites;
Position 1 - "If you don't like/understand this movie, you aren't intelligent enough."
Position 2 - "This was b@llocks."
Both reviews are highly unhelpful as starting from a standpoint that you are better than other people viewing it (position 1) instantly flags you as a bit of a c-nt. A three word review (position2) is also pointless in the extreme and comes off as troll-ish. Minimum a review should be is 15 words (www.twitter.com/15wordreviews).
If you are curious enough then go and watch it, if you aren't well, I wouldn't bother.
