It's a really rough read. David, the warrior, not just the lover of God. The author suggests that David's and Jonathan's relationship was not one of purity. Can not be true. How could God have called him "a man after God's own heart" while participating in abomination? Impossible.

I am hesitant to read biblical fiction... Because most authors write from a Western perspective and don't do enough research to make their tales authentic. This author writes with authority. She uses the Hebrew names, rather than the christianized names...which I LOVE. She has a beautiful writing style. I've read some things about this book which I am dreading. But, so far, it's a fresh look at a familiar man, David.
