I liked this book even more than book #1. I suppose that is due in part to the first book being largely background, along with the first parts of the grand adventure.I won't summarize the story, as it is described well already. All the characters are well thought out, but in book #2 I was pleased to witness them grow and mature.; particularly in Jordana's case, as her sense of adventure and self-proclaimed maturity (based on her age, 18) had been setting her up for hard learned lessons and unnecessary risks. In book 2, I became less annoyed with her haughty attitude, and she earned some respect.Kiernan, who previously irked me to no end, is forced to face reality...we can't kid ourselves anymore once we reach rock bottom, can we?Overall, if you like book one, you will like book #2 more. Where some characters seemed wishy-washy before, this installment includes forced learning from the school-of-hard-knocks. Since God can best see His reflection in us after the repeated heat of the designer's fire, so it is with these beloved characters. Enjoy.
I would very much recommend this series and authors. I have started the 3rd book. I thoroughly enjoyed reading each book and have had difficulty in putting it down at times. The characters are very real, full of faith, love and encouragement. And of course I have loved learning more about the era that the transcontinental railroad was being built and how it affected the people living at that time.
You won't want to put this book down. The Civil War. A Brother, Sister & newly arrived Irish gal. They leave the east coast for California. A lot of action & complications, & love, but through their faith they kept going.
A believable plot enhanced by believable characters and of course excellent writing. And I am also enjoying learning about the start of the railroad across the nation. I am so glad I bought all three in this series!
I really, really, really enjoyed this series. All three books of the Ribbons West series. The characters are delightful. They are well developed. I have recommended this book to others.
I love Jordanna's independence, but at times I was very frustrated with her and sympathized with Brenton. I'm glad Caitlyn found God and in turn, she and Brenton were finally able to fully express and accept each others love. I'm hoping that Jordanna has a love story as well.
A great story and perspective about expansion into the American West. The children from the Ribbons of Steel series continue to mature and make their way across country. Several unexpected twists and a great ending. I look forward to reading the 3rd in the series.
I really enjoy the spiritual lessons in this book,as well as, the mystery written within the story. And, of course, I love happy endings. I like being left with a good feeling when completing a book. Thanks again!
