Stilted language, bot in the narrative and in the dialogue. Everyone talked like a preacher.

Might’ve enjoyed this book more if I had realized that it was the third in a series before I started it

I really enjoyed the story line and the characters. I enjoyed getting to know them on a deeper level as the series progressed. I enjoyed the historical aspect. I loved that Christ was first place in most of their lives. Thank you for no sexual content. I recommend the book and series.
Actually I completed reading this on 4/28/18 not sure why it came it wrong.
