| Solomon's Angels: A Novel by Hay House A fascinating, spiritual love story |
| I loved this book! I couldn't put it down once I started reading it! The story give us a glimpse of the life of a king and a queen thrown into their roles as teens who meet and fall in love. But the book teaches us about the magic of not only love but of the spirit realm. Fascinating!! |
| Solomon's Angels: A Novel by Hay House Ancient queen speaks in 21st century voice |
This was an earnest effort to give us some insight into the lives of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. A tremendous amount of research was invested and several passages were entertaining, but not consistently. I was frequently distracted by Sheba's 20th-21st century voice:
* "I didn't need my mother, a husband, or a baby to make me feel complete! I was a strong, competent woman who was making a difference to my own commonwealth. I could attain fulfillment on my own, thank you very much."
* "...perhaps the spicy food made my metabolism work overtime."
* "I sighed with exhaustion at the thought of this momentous public relations campaign."
* "I learned how to direct the fire's light to disinfect wounds, water, food, and anything else that needed sterilization."
* "Once I overcame my mental blocks."
* "Our plan was to perform the teleportation..."
* "She explained that the king was a connoisseur of mental gymnastics."
* "My tresses definitely needed attention."
* "...the least he could do would be to get offof his darned throne and come meet me!"
* "...our gifts basically canceled each other out!"
* "The basis of our relationship was a strong electric magnetism that drew us together..."
* "That dream had died the night before, damn it!"
* "...the bottom line is that we must return to Sheba at once."
The visiting queen frequently and inexplicably wandered about late at night, unescorted and undetected by her guards or Solomon's. And she talks about no longer desiring to "deify" the planets. Other quizzical "ancient" jargon:
* "No matter how far-fetched the claimant's case"
* "You look incredible"
* "I'm sorry, darling"
* "Here you go, sweetheart"
* "...you'reacting like a schoolgirl missing classes to be with her boyfriend."
* "I felt so giddy"
* "...like a soprano's voice shattering a crystal goblet"
* "That old rumor's still circulating?"
* "...brushing up on his Hebrew"
* "What point was he driving at?"
* "Darn!"
* "Well, that sort of made sense."
* "I was getting very good at nonverbal communication!"
While much of the language was modern slang, some of it was just plain stiff:
* "I mentally chastised Mother for frightening me with her inopportune absence."
* "...his face transformed into that of a seven-year-old boy with impish eyes imploring a playmate to engage in fun antics."
* "...he reworded the same query, still making no sense."
* "...its music simultaneously discordant and pleasant."
She even exclaims, "Jeez!" at some point. Despite the best intentions, this novel didn't transport me to that era or allow me to be in Sheba's head, as good fiction typically does. Perhaps narrative non-fiction would have been a better vehicle for what could have been an interesting story. |

| Solomon's Angels: A Novel by Hay House Solomon's Angels |
This is a great book covering a very real experience from a more metaphysical perspective. I really appreciate the content and the perspective of this book. Solomon's Angel's is fascinating approach to a very memorable biblical couple.Doreen steps into this fictionalized version of a great piece of history having done a great deal historical review. The words she uses really create a clear sense of time and place.
Thank you for expanding your writing horizons Doreen and in the process giving your readers food for thought. |
| Solomon's Angels: A Novel by Hay House Product Description |
King Solomon knew how to harness universal energies to build his temple, tap into wisdom, and enjoy all of life’s riches. The only thing he was missing was true love. Makeda, the Queen of Sheba, was young and filled with exuberant curiosity about the world. On her journey to meet King Solomon, Makeda learned about the Jinn elemental realm and how to work with the sun and moon’s magical light, but she still wasn’t sure how to take charge of her own life. In Solomon’s Angels, Doreen Virtue’s first novel, which is based on thoroughly researched historical, biblical, archaeological, and culturally accurate information, you’ll see how Solomon and Makeda’s meeting changed both of their lives forever. You’ll peek over the Queen of Sheba’s shoulder and discover the ancient secrets behind how Solomon’s temple was built without hammers and saws, and the role that the archangels and sacred geometry played in manifestation and divine magic. Solomon and Makeda’s magically romantic story will inspire you in many ways . . . long after you’ve finished reading it! |
