Tributary (River of Time #3.2)
I think I liked this novella the best out of the two!!! ^_^ Again, like I have said probably a million times by now lol Lia and Luca are just sooo adorable and cute together! I love getting to see their relationship grow more and more in each book. I love seeing Gabi and Marcello too <3 (view spoiler)[I was also so excited for them when I found out that Gabi was pregnant ^_^ even though I saw that coming very early on lol (hide spoiler)] I figured out some of the plotlines from the beginning of the story, but that is ok…I still thoroughly enjoyed it and the series continues to be one of my favorites!! :) *subtly hints that you should read this series :P lol
Onto some of the characters…I loved how Lord Greco’s story didn’t end in Torrent. He has always intrigued me and I am glad he was in this book! For most of Tributary, I just felt so sorry for Lord Greco/Rodolfo…It was like he was a sad lost puppy wandering around not knowing what to do or what his purpose in life was (Not sure how those two things compare, but it made sense in my head lol) Also when he was trying to get over Gabi, I could not help but feel a little bad for him :( (view spoiler)[I was so happy that in the end, Lord Greco got a happy ending with Alessandra though ^_^ I felt like they were perfect for each other, both of them being a little broken, sad, and treated as horribly as they were by their former friends and family :/ (hide spoiler)]
I enjoyed getting to learn more about Lia in this book…I felt connected to her character when she was sad or scared about the whole protecting her family thing and being afraid to use her bow and arrow ever again—I felt like I was right there with her, feeling her pain. I also liked how we got to see her character gradually grow through that period of being afraid to be a “She-Wolf” again and I was so glad for her when she realized that she didn’t need to give into her fear, she just needed to trust God instead with her life. This quote below from Bourne says it perfectly to me…
“Fear is not of the Lord. It is of the Enemy. Do not give in to it.”
I definitely agree with this quote! It really helped me because I struggle with this from time to time. I get worried and stress over things that will not really matter at the end of my life. I just thought it was an encouraging quote and I am glad that Lisa added into her book :)
I know I was rambling a little lol but by now I think you know how much I LOVE this series and all of the characters in them… well except Paratore and Barbato of course…they are so evil and creep me out by the things they do *shudders* But I definitely recommend this series as a whole, starting with Waterfall! :) Just a warning though, at times, it can be a little graphic with the fighting scenes if that bothers you (view spoiler)[like shooting an arrow directly in someone’s eye or knights chopping their own comrades head off and describing it rolling down a hill...yuck lol those scenes had me cringing… (hide spoiler)]
http://christianbookshelfreviews.blog...The River of Time series is one of THE BEST series I've read so far! Tributary, the newest addition, was no exception because the greatness continued in this novella!My favorite characters from this series have pretty much always been Lia and Luca (he's on the cover of Tributary) and I was so glad that a majority of this story featured them. Oh, and the scene where Luca gets a haircut courtesy of Lia was hilarious and probably one of my favorites! I just
Woohoo hot Greco got himself a girl!!
I really enjoyed this book. I appreciate that the book focused more on Evangelia. There has been a short truce. Unfortunately, a Fiorentini girl comes to the castle.
I feel similar to this novella as I did to the previous (#3.1). It just was...weak. Although I loved that we learned so much more about Lord Greco (yay dark romantic character!), the writing is just getting blah to me. I don't know if the storyline is getting old or the characters are just becoming too predictable, but this series is starting to lose its luster to me. Although I always appreciated the nod to the religious nature of Gabi, etc., but it started to get to be a little too much. The
I'm rating this book for my students.* They love this series! These books are some of the most popular of my classroom library. Older students often point them out to the younger & encourage them to read them. Lisa Bergren is one of our favorite authors!*I teach English in a Christian junior high/high school.
Oh. My. Gosh.The cover. THE COVER.That is LUCA. As someone who never had a clear picture of him in the first three books, I'm now officially swooning! LOVE!!
