For Such a Time as Everly is a beautiful retelling of Esther’s story from the Bible. Some details have changed, and there were unexpected plot twists that took me by surprise, but it captures the essence of one of my favourite Bible stories. God’s will WILL be done. His will is good. We can trust him.

I loved Everly in this book. She has such a sweet personality. Even as she tries to plot to get out of the beauty pageant that would make her queen, she does it in a lovely manner.

I also enjoyed the King, and the way he softened and changed through knowing Everly and falling for her. Their love story felt very genuine to me.

A very interesting story. What I loved best was how it made me keep thinking of Esther in the Bible how it must have been for her to go through all this. I have never read Biblical fiction and of course this is not the same but I liked that it gave me insight into how it felt to be placed in that situation and time period.

A wonderful retelling of Esther! I could not put it down after I reached the new queen's wedding night. This book contains a lot of valuable lessons about the importance of character growth and open communication in marriage as well as how hard situations can sometimes bring us into God's purposes for us!
