Review:
This book starts where book one ended with a great prologue. Then we get into Charity's story. In A Passion Most Pure we were introduce to Charity and many of us took a bit of a dislike to her. While she was extremely self centered I could see why she behaved like she did at times.
In A Passion Redeemed I was happy to see Julie mention a few issues I had identified plus a couple others for why Charity thinks like she does. We also see a softer side of Charity which we hadn't seen before. While I could understand why Charity acts like she does to a degree I find her thinking incredibly selfcentered and all about me. We also see Mitch back and the interaction with Charity causes sparks.
Charity is angry at God but in this book you can see him reaching out to her if she only accepts.
At times I wanted to just knock some sence into Charity but she also had a way of endearing herself to me. I loved this book even more than book one. 5 out of 5.
