12/7 finished Jericho Mosaic. terrible. nothing like the rest. entirely unnecessary. Whittemore just needed the world to know, 'like, war, man. why? amirite?'

11/22 started Jericho Mosaic

11/10 finished Nile Shadows. Very boring, maddeningly incessant. Intentional, I know, but I've finally had enough. The beginning was amusing and the tail end was fine. Most of the middle was gluuuh.

10/26 starting Nile Shadows

10/18 finished Jerusalem Poker. Strong four stars. These novels are amazing. Lotsa talking.

10/6 started Jerusalem Poker

9/29 finished Sinai Tapestry. Disorienting but maybe intentionally so because there are many characters and the story spans centuries and there's generations of peoples and sometimes they disappear for awhile. I had trouble keeping everybody straight.

But also, fantastic. It got better and better and the ending was phenomenal.

9/17 started Sinai Tapestry

Dec. 18th I finished the first book in this set - Sinai Tapestry. It was really good overall, though I felt the ending was really abrupt. I would have enjoyed much more discussion of the Bible, how it was found, what they did with it, etc. etc. The way characters were connected was confusing but also amazing through the confusion. :)
