This book centers around a man named Balthazar who happens to be a thief and a killer and also one of the three wise men who visited Jesus the night of his birth.
Yep, that is pretty much what happens in this book. There's an evil king and a bunch of fighting and Jesus. what more could you ask for?
I originally rated this at 4 stars but changed it a couple days later to 5 stars and added it to my favourites list.
There were some parts when I almost stopped reading for a minute because it was so descriptive with its gore scenes but I kept on reading and was so glad that I did. I've never been much of a person for historical fiction but this book was so amazing that I just want more.
As long as you can deal with very descriptive scenes like slow torture as one of the examples, then you should read this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone really.
My book hangover for this one lasted pretty long, about three weeks. Mostly mine only last about a week so that's pretty long for me.
I just loved everything about it. the setting, the time period, the characters. Even if they were pretty famous. And the ending about what happened to the other two wise men made me weirdly happy. But I won't tell you what it was because I don't want to spoil it for anyone.
If you'd like me to read/ review a book, just leave a comment below! I'll try not to give too many spoilers or give too much away while reviewing the books, but if I do, also let me know so I can give warnings to anyone who hasn't read the books before. I appreciate all feedback, but please be respectful on constructive criticism.
Everyone's opinions are valuable so please don't make anyone feel terrible for having their own opinion on a book. Just because it's different from yours does not mean it's the wrong opinion.
