"A Bond of Briars is a captivating fantasy retelling that perfectly honors the original account of Ruth while still creating something all its own. The use of dark magic is unique, with its consequences masterfully illustrated. The story carries a beautiful message of faith, encouraging characters to embrace light over the darkness, even when that darkness might seem alluring on the surface. The character arcs showed beautiful growth and the overarching messages of forgiveness are so important for today's world. Overall, this enchanting and uplifting tale will keep readers engaged down to the last word."
