This week, I read the Hearts of Montana series by Misty M. Beller online, reading in the evenings, after having finished a very busy week during quarter three of school. One of the questions I had asked my students to discuss their own books was the importance of setting. As I reflected a bit on this series I had just finished, I concluded that the mountains in these three books were characters, very important characters.
The mountains in the books at times are friends, while at other times the foe. Often they provide comfort to main characters Ingrid and Micah, Joanna and Isaac, and Laura and Nate, while, also, at other times, standing dark and aloof.
A Christian series, this trilogy I recommend. Much action. Just enough romance. Several Biblical reminders. All adding up to an enjoyable series.
Happy reading!
PS: After perusing the author's other titles, the mountains seem to be a reoccurring setting. Interesting. Will journey to those moutnains, also! Soon!
