An Echo in the Darkness is the second book in Francine River's Mark of the Lion triology. The book wastes little time recapping from the very first book (A Voice in the Wind).
Spoiler alert: Since the last book, we discover that life has changed for the characters in 1st century AD. Hadassah is surviving with disfiguring injuries, Marcus is seeking to make sense of the world as he knows it, his sister suffers from an unidentified and dangerous illness and his mother Phoebe has turned to Christianity and does good works in the community.
To make sense of the tragedy and abominations of the people, Marcus travels to the holy land to find this "God" to whom Hadassah prayed. His journey, is a good metaphor for many people's journey into Christianity. Through his journey, as well as Hadassah's into forgiveness and Julia's into redemption we get a good picture of life in Rome, Ephesus and Israel in the 1st century AD. However, my overall issue with the book was that the talk of God and faith was quite heavy handed. I much preferred a Voice in the Wind because there was a better combination of history, faith and humanity. I know this is probably an unpopular sentiment, but there was so much talk of God in this book that it became overbearing at times. For me, it was to much, for others, if you enjoy a substantial focus on God in a book besides the Bible, then this book is for you.

When I started reading this book, I was afraid that a sequel could never be as good as an original. However, my fear was unfounded with this book. I have not enjoyed a piece of fiction this much in many years! This series has rekindled my love for fiction and deepened my walk with God.

This book is great! However, you must read the very first book "Voice in the Wind" first. Voice in the Wind starts off slow and boring for the very first 3 to 4 chapters then after that you cannot put this book down nor can you put Echo in the Darkness down. They are wonderful books. Christian believers will enjoy the books the most but unbelievers will like them also. The story is truly riviting.

Wow, I stayed on the bike at the gym for over two hours b/c I just had to get to the end. Then I re read the last few pages again once I got off the bike. I want the kind of faith that Hadassah had. Amazing story. Seemed real. I cried ALOT! Life changing novel. A must read for anyone and everyone.

Francine Rivers has an amazing way of bringing to life the truths of the Bible in her fiction that is unsurpassed.
