I didn't love this book. The book took a lot of effort for me to get into it and enjoy but it was recommended by my dear friend and one of the woman I visit teach, so I gave it a try.
This book is the first in a series following a group of people from the preexistence and throughout their lives. The first book is about the War in Heaven, the different sides and views and the main characters choices before they come to earth. Although a central part of my religion, it was difficult to imagine, simply because I had never read it dramatized before. Think of it as reading a story from your parents childhood. A story your dad continually tells but now you are reading it from an outsider's perspective.
The book wasn't terrible, it just took a lot for me to get into. It did make me reflect on the War in Heaven, choices made there, Agency and the Plan of Salvation, so it wasn't a complete loss! I just couldn't read page after page, I had to focus to read pages. Apparently, they get better and turn out to be a really fantastic series. I imagine they would get better as it would be easier to imagine stories of people on earth. I guess I am a book snob in the sense if they didn't hook me with the first book, there is little chance I will read the rest... but there is a chance!
