Waltz into the waves by sarah holman full#

With such a short story there is not a lot of time to develop characters, but I found that the main characters in this story were still given time to mature, and develop in order to help the story proceed smoothly. So over the course of the next few weeks I'd like to be able to talk about each one of these fantastic and well-written books so that my lovely readers can find out just how inspiring these books truly are (and so you can get a hold of them and read them too!)

Waltz into the waves by sarah holman full#

As I was deciding what I was going to read I found that my Kindle was entirely full with books from this lovely lady that were sitting unread!! (A shock to me as well, let me tell you!) So I spent the day reading as many as I could.yep one whole day. I recently took a day off from my normal routine to just sit and read. Not only is she a talented author who captivates the attention of all of her readers, but she is a wonderful daughter of God. Today I am very excited to be able to review Waltz into the Waves by Sarah Holman. I wouldn't say it's my favorite Cinderella tale ever, but I’m giving it 5 stars all the same because overall I just adored it! <3 I read it in like twenty minutes, so it was very short, but packed so much in despite that. Overall, this is a very brief but absolutely sweet little short story, a touching and romantic retelling of Cinderella. I loved the hero, Alex, who was epic, charming, and kind, genuinely caring about Amelia he was great! Plus, their relationship had some super sweet moments! :) *hugs little tale* There are some tough scenes but so much adorableness as well. Featuring an awesome castle (loved the descriptions!), a lovely masked ball, and sea-side scenes too. I don’t mind magical fairytales but this one did the Cinderella story without a magical fairy godmother and some of the other trappings of the original story, while still being recognizably Cinderella-ish. Told in first person (I’m not sure if I’ve read a tale by Miss Holman written in first person, before?), about Amelia (the Cinderella character) and her friend Alex (the charming fellow who occasionally lives next door), it covers a lot of ground and time surprisingly quickly.

I encourage you to pick up a copy for yourself, especially if you love sweet fairy-tale retellings. I am quite impressed with Miss Holman’s well-crafted story, and am glad she published it so we have the pleasure to read it. The only thing I would remark upon would be that I think it would have been even better were there to be a deeper Christian theme underlying it. I loved this sweet story, in its simplicity and endearingness. I told myself I would pace myself when reading it – a chapter or two a day or so (there are 5 chapters total), but once I started, I couldn’t stop. What an absolutely lovely retelling of the classic fairy tale, Cinderella! Truly, this short story is just darling.
