This 4 book series on Orthodox saints was an okay read overall, but it left a lot to be desired. The lack of any icons, or visual elements made it feel rather plain. There were also large sections of blank pages that made the book seem unfinished or poorly formatted.
(perfect space for an icon)
The writing style itself was different.. I can’t really explain or exam’s further on that.
Overall, I did learn about a handful of new saints I hadn’t heard of before, and that alone made the read worthwhile. I’m also glad I didn’t pay full price for the series and managed to get it on a really good sale.
That said, I’d recommend looking for something else if you’re after a daily “lives of the saints” type of read, like The Prologue from Ohrid. This series just doesn’t quite compare, unless, like me, you find it at a big discount.
