Treasures of the North
5By My nickname is hjughkI totally was taken in by this story of much intrigue and adventure. I started it on Dec 23 and taking into consideration the busy holiday, I picked it up again Dec 26 and arrived at the conclusion. A bit disappointed, I wanted more. Excellent read.Treasures of the Heart
3By Taylor9825Enjoyed the book, but it seemed like there should be another book to tie up quite a few loose ends to the storyEnjoyable and riveting
5By ScholarMomThis well-written introdution to a series had me glued—I read it in one sitting! It’s a cozy with adventure and strong female characters. Sometimes “Christian” literature has cartoonish, shallow characters and who lack authenticity. Sometimes when describing both Jesus followers and those who don’t follow Him, their trials and troubles don’t seem worth reading about. But this is not the case in “Treasures of the North.” The characters are deep and it’s easy to identify with them, and the descriptions of Alaska at the turn of the 20th century are vivid. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.What?
3By !!gogoEnding feels incompleteNot for me
3By Monkey poop hahahahahahaThe plot and characters are well developed. I like the book but, it is based around Christanity. And each character is facing his / her own demons; talking to and placing faith in God. This book might not appeal to those less religious.
