Washed Under the Waves Children of the King Book 1 edition by Gloria Clover Religion Spirituality eBooks

Although I expected fantasy, this novel doesn’t really fit. Yes, there are magical amulets. Sort of. It earns 4.7 out of five stars from me. One of the best books I’ve read this year.
Instead of a magical tale of fantasy, this is allegorical fiction at its finest. The prince could be any man on a mission for the Lord. The princess could be any woman who doubts her ability to carry out the purpose the Lord sets before her.
I admit, the story starts slow. But don’t give up on it because you will connect with the characters. You will see your weaknesses reflected in them. And your strengths. Your spiritual struggles will be played out on the page.
The story surprised me. I was quick to catch the overall underlying problem, but the circumstances the author chose to throw at the characters caught me off guard. Not because they were unbelievable, but because I didn’t want things to go that way, but they served the story well. Kudos to this author for roping me so far into the story that I didn’t want it to end.
Although it’s the first in a series, it felt complete. No loose threads or cliffhangers. More praise to the author for trusting her premise to draw readers back to her series rather than using gimmicks like those.
Beware. This book will make you think about your relationship with the Father in new and convicting ways.

Washed Under the Waves Children of the King Book 1 edition by Gloria Clover Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews

This is a wonderful story and it is well written. I love fantasy, and it is even better when it is a Christian fantasy that shows you the love of Christ.

Washed Under The Waves showed us that there are times when our blessings come in disguise and we don’t recognize them because we have a preconceived idea of what it will look like and what it will be like when we receive it. I don’t think Tayte would have been able to truly love Athan if he had revealed who he was. I love how Athan wooed Tayte, it was an example of how the King loves us. He not only wooed Tayte, but the people of Undae too.

The people had heard of the King, but they did not really know. They did not know what it was like to have a relationship with Him. Athan showed them what it was like to be in a relationship with the King. He let Tayte and her people know that the King is not distant from them, but always with them and loving them.

This is a wonderful book. This book shows us how God really wants you to see Him as Father/Daddy and how He wants us to rely on Him. The love scene at the end is priceless. 
~3.5 stars~ I think it’s fair to say this is a unique fantasy series in both its conception and its execution—a hybrid of allegory, parable, and fairy tale that presents the Christian faith as a very personal relationship with a King who desires His children to know and worship Him and to love and trust Him absolutely, even when we don’t understand what He’s doing. It was a sweet reminder of the beauty of a childlike faith, and the love and wisdom of God (the King) as a father.

In some ways, though, the story was a little simplistic for my tastes. I felt as though it would have suited a younger audience, except that the romantic elements would be too sensual, not to mention there is an incident with characters who become physically involved prior to marriage. All of this was handled within the bounds of what I would deem appropriate for Christian fiction (although there were a few moments in the last scene that nudged my comfort level—blush alert!), but it's not something I would be giving to, say, my twelve-year-old daughter.

While we’re on the subject of romance, I would generally have enjoyed this one if it wasn't for one little thorn in my side the prince's disguise as a tutor. I couldn’t see why this was necessary for most of the story, and even when a purpose became clear, I couldn’t help feeling there might have been a better way to accomplish it. In addition, it gave rise to a situation where Lady Tayte developed a strong romantic attachment to a man she believed she wouldn’t be able to marry, and while Athan held back from giving full rein to his own feelings, there were still moments when their emotional intimacy and behaviour towards one another felt inappropriate given Tayte’s belief that she was promised to another. Even though I (and Athan) knew Athan was her betrothed, it needled my conscience on Tayte's behalf.

All that being said, I enjoyed this author’s writing style, and there were some interesting developments in the second half of the book that maintained my interest in the story. I’ll be interested to see where this series takes me next.

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher. This has not influenced the content of my review, which is my honest and unbiased opinion.
Great read! Couldn't put it down! Looking forward to the release of Book 2
I loved it and plan to read the next book in the series
This book is adorable! It has engaging characters, a great setting, and a wonderful message. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend it. You won't be disappointed. )
