After I finished book one, I immediately turned to book two and read it in one sitting. It is every bit as gripping as the first book!
How have I never heard of JP Robinson before?? Wowza!! Talk about some incredible storytelling!! In the Shadow of Your Wings, book one in the Northshire Heritage series was one that instantly stole my heart and imagination, hungrily devouring the novel, and loved that when I was done that book two was already ready for me to read. I seriously can’t imagine having to wait for this installment.
In the Midst of the Flames picks up right where book one leaves off, which I greatly appreciated, and continues to follow my two favorite characters, Leila and Malcolm, as well as adding some new names and faces to war that continues to wage not only in Europe, but also in the hearts of each player.
The ravages and casualties of war is always a tough pill to swallow, but the author again skillfully handles it all with grace and in a way that gives you the view without being overly graphic. The suspense is unparalleled, JP Robinson truly having a gift for leaving the reader on the edge of their seat almost constantly.
In the Midst of the Flames had one particular storyline that did grate on me a bit, but that has nothing to do with the writing, but more of the subject is a very touchy one for me, so those parts I skimmed through, but overall this novel was of the same caliber as In the Shadow of Your Wings, so fluid in fact that it feels like one continuous novel. The character depth is unmatched and the overall storytelling ins mystically spellbinding and hard to put down. I cannot wait to get my hands on book three and see how everything plays out!!
*I have voluntarily reviewed a copy of each book which I read through Kindle Unlimited for JustRead Tours. All views and opinions are completely honest, and my own.
In The Midst Of The Flames by J P Robinson continues the Northshire Heritage series set during World War I. This is the second book in the series and is set in 1917. You need to read book one first.
Once again similar themes continue. We witness the effects of the battlefields on characters. “Somewhere in the trenches of France, the God he once loved had faded into a dormant memory, replaced by the mounds of dead.” The war has affected a faith, shaking it to the core when surrounded by so much death. “Why are you silent God?” In spite of a wavering faith, a character still cries out to God.
In contrast there is a German farmer who is a Christian and sees beyond a uniform. “We are neither German nor English. We are only human beings, made in the image of God.”
Love is the antidote to hate. “The only way anyone can win is to move beyond hatred… and embrace the power of love.” If we love, there is no room for hate. We are reminded of St Paul’s words in the Bible that there is neither Jew nor gentile, male nor female, rich or poor, slave or free. We are all equal under Jesus.
Forgiveness is a major theme. “I choose to forgive.” We will always have a choice as to whether we forgive or not. To with-hold forgiveness will only damage us as we risk becoming bitter.
In Christ we are a new creation. His love binds us together giving us a hope and a future.
I am loving this Northshire Heritage series. It’s on to book three now.
I received a free copy from Just Read Tours. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
The sequel to In the Shadow of Your Wings, this is a Christian historical thriller, set during WWI with a fascinating back-story.
