I think this series gets better and better. Annison's Risk retells the story of Esther as a young girl from Odyssey winds up in Marus during a regime change. Maddy believes she's there to help the queen have a fairy tale ending to her love story. What she discovers about her role there is far more important in her life and the lives of key members of the king's court.

Each of the Passages stories is introduced and concluded with scenes of two men trying to find the source of these stories, written in plain school notebooks. The pieces are starting to come together in this story. I'm sufficiently hooked to want to keep reading and find out the source.

The books are recommended for 10 and up and are creatively told so that the Bible story is recognizable but new truths can be learned from them.
