I was captivated by the richness of the characters in this book. Delving deep into their journeys, their struggles, their human failings and their redemptive repentance, Mercy’s Legacy gives the reader eyes to see beyond the surface and past the stereotypes, casting aside easy judgements and ingrained bias, straight through to the heart. The plots of both the historical storyline and the modern-day storyline are enthralling and relatable. There is also a sweet pinch of growth and release to be gained by journeying along with these characters.
An amazing well written conclusion to this series! Loved seeing the connections between generations and family ties. A fantastic book series with several multitudes of forgiveness and constant motions forward, loved the book and the depth of the characters. It even held the personal touches of down to earth real life scenarios in life and love.
An original and surprising tale that is woven over three books that is at times both heart-wrenching and full of life. Mercy’s Legacy is a well-written and excellent capstone to the series. As Mercy, the girl at the heart of the story, journeys with her brother to discover a past she knows nothing about, the reader is entwined in both a historical and modern drama. The family scenes are so well drawn. Enjoyed it to the last page. Well done.
In the midst of modern-day events, I couldn’t help but find myself smack dab in the middle of this story. Hanks doesn’t hold back in wrapping up the Mercy Series. I have asked God to break my heart for what breaks His, and He did through this story. It’s an excellent read!!
I was so excited to read the final book of the series. The author leaves no characters behind. Those that we love, those that infuriate us, those that we uncannily see ourselves in… they’re all here. We see them wrestle with the events of the previous two books. We see them move forward as best as they can in their present. We see them cross each other’s paths in unexpected ways. Such a good read! Such a good reminder that no one is beyond redemption. That our mistakes and personality quirks and struggles don’t keep us from belonging and being loved… by God and by the people of God. I love these characters, and I’m sad to see them go.
