“I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
I'm a huge fan of historical fiction and always find it fascinating when I know the history behind the story. The Secret Book of Kings describes the story of a young man in ancient Israel who finds out that he's the great grandson of King Saul. Under the rule of King Solomon, that information is extremely dangerous, and with the help from his grandmother and her advisor he's set on the path to become King of Israel.
I went to a Christian high school so we had studied the Bible and some of the stories of David and Solomon in class. What I think that I found most interesting was how every story in the Bible, just like in history, is up to different interpretations based on who won. It was interesting to read about how others viewed King David, King Solomon, and King Saul. I have to admit this book also made me want to break open the Bible again and refresh myself on some history!
You don't have to know the whole history of the Israelites in order to enjoy this book though. The story eventually spells it all out for you. If you enjoy palace intrigue and a fight for power, definitely consider picking this book up.”
