A Stillness of Chimes
by Meg Mosley
I was so excited to get this book so I would have something
with paper pages to read on my cruise.
It was a perfect summer read for me – not too light and not too heavy. After reading a lot of bad reviews for this
book too, I was anxious to find out for myself.
It was actually refreshing to not have the character’s faith
all tied up in a neat package. For most
of the book both main characters are very cynical, but there is change and I
can see how someone growing in their faith could benefit from seeing a
character grow and change. A mature
believer should be able to handle a character grappling with faith issues.
Two of the books themes – forgiveness and sacrifice – have been
coming up a lot lately in things that I’m reading. I thought Mosley handled these themes in an
honest way and although I haven’t personally dealt with the specific issues
(besides death of a loved one), I’m sure that many have. I did figure the mystery part out (except for
a little tweak) part way through, but that didn’t make it less of a mystery or
not worthy of a read.
Like I said – not too light and not too heavy. It’s a good read. I enjoyed the time and am glad I read A Stillness of Chimes.
Blogging for Books provided this book to me for free in
exchange for an honest review.
