I just finished the three books in the Yukon Quest series by Tracie Peterson, and thoroughly enjoyed them! I don’t normally read series books back to back to back, but prefer to split them up with other books in between. However, on my last library trip, I was looking for books in the middle of other series I am currently reading, and I was disappointed to not have the ones I wanted available. I saw that my library had all 3 of these books in this trilogy, so I went ahead and got them.
If you like Christian fiction, then I think you will enjoy these books. I certainly did. I liked the characters and the setting was a new one for me – the gold rush to the Yukon in the late 1800’s. The faith of these characters were certainly put to the test enduring the conditions of the time and place, like the forty degrees below zero winters they were subjected to. There was a bit of mystery and intrigue to these books, enough to be interesting, but not too much to take away from the joy and enjoyment of these books.
I plan to read more by Tracie Peterson (she was a new author for me before I started these books), including the next set of books called the “Alaskan Quest”. From the little bit of reading I’ve done at Amazon, she follows on with some of the characters from these books (most notably, Leah and Jacob). I always like reading more books about characters I like, and seeing where the author goes with their lives and loves. I have a lot of other books on my to-read list though, so it may be a while before I get to these!
For the record, I’ve read a total of 15 books so far this year, with a total of 5,054 pages read. Up next is my first ever “cozy” mystery book, “On What Grounds” by Cleo Coyle. I can’t wait to get started!! 🙂
You are zooming right along on the reading! I really have enjoyed the Tracie Peterson books I’ve read.
I haven’t read any by Peterson before. I don’t know if I would like them in the historical vein. I used to like historical fiction and really enjoyed the Bodie & Brock Thoene series – The Zion Covenant series and the Zion Chronicle series. I finished my 15th book today also. We’re jammin’ right along together! LOL!
I was gonna ask a/b borrowing them but I think you said library so I’ll have to check my church library for them. I might have read something by Peterson a long time ago but can’t quite remember.
Hi! I’ve never heard of this author. I will keep an eye out for her books. Thanks for the review! I love book reviews!
Sounds like a good trilogy! Fifteen books…you are way ahead of me now! 🙂 Thanks for the review!
I love it when I get my hands on a whole series or a trilogy. I read straight through like it’s all one big huge book. Sounds like you read as much as I read. I’ll bet if I counted, I’d be right up there around fifteen, too. You know, it might be fun to actually keep track of everything I read in one year. I’ll have to try that.
I’m glad you enjoyed the books. I’ll have to add her to my list of author’s to look for. I have so many books around here that I need to catch up on. I’m really on a Amish kick again right now. I sailed through all the Beverly Lewis books when I first discovered her, and then read all the new ones as quick as I can. Right now I am reading several books by Wanda Brunstetter that involve the Amish. There are several Amish that live around my hometown in Kentucky, so I have always been intrigued by them.
I am so behind on blog reading this week. I spent the week chasing my tail with Stephen away. I had forgotten how hectic things are when he is out of town.
