Quest for Leviathan by Amanda Tero {Book Review + Blog Tour}


Are sea monsters a real thing? What about fire-breathing dragons? According to the Bible, there is a fire-breathing sea creature who really existed: the leviathan. Amanda Tero brings this dragon to life in her newest short story, "Quest for Leviathan." Join Anath and his crew of ninety-nine rowers as they face the waves of the Mediterranean Sea and the power of Leviathan.

About the Story


Leviathan took the life of his father.



Anath has spent three years preparing for the voyage that will end the threat of Leviathan. Yet as the Valor launches into the depths of the Mediterranean, an inward quest also begins, taking Anath to depths he is not willing to face.






Review 

I've been pleased with every short work I've read by Ms. Tero. This fictional take on the tale of the leviathan from Job 41 was no exception. 


The story itself was great, offering clear detail without being wordy. The setting was well researched and I enjoyed the connection to Job 41, a chapter that has always intrigued and yet confused me. 



The theme and message of God's plans above our own was tastefully done, speaking to me without overloading the few short pages. 



4.5 stars! 



A favorite quote ~ “I prayed the Lord would bring you home alive. That He would reveal to you the greatness of His plans above your own.”
