    Wow Just, wow I m so thankful the Lord chose Tosca Lee to write about Eve Havah , Judas Iscariot Iscariot , and now the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon The Legend of Sheba The amount of research and imagination she weaves into her novels is the work of an inspired artisan, and I so appreciate the care with which she handles God s Word.That being said, however, I will warn you that Tosca s writing is edgy, and she doesn t mask the hard truths about the ancient cultures explored in this book We fi [...]

    Finally, I ve had a chance to read this book My word, I am so impressed My only short account of Tosca s writing was with the novella about Ismeni and I must say I am thoroughly blown away with the way this book turned out.This story is my first biblical fiction and now that I ve sampled it, I know I ll be trying out a few authors.The legend of Sheba boasts in beautiful descriptions and is rich in its historical background The grandeur of a radiant queen traveling north to meet with King Solomo [...]

    I don t often read books of this genre but something about this book called to me, perhaps it was the eyes on the cover that lured me in like they did so many a man that Bilqis Sheba came across I love so much of this book, I don t think I have a single bad thing about this book that I could come up with other then I want It was like reading the pages of the girls diary or being right there next to her and experiencing all the beauty her world had to offer and all the pain that hid behind their [...]

    Powerful, vibrant, saturated in history, The Legend of Sheba was doubtless one of the best books I have read this year I have never read anything by Tosca Lee before However, after looking her up and seeing what she had written, I very much wanted to The Legend of Sheba shocked me in its beauty and depth The research it took to write this book is incredible The characters were so very real that I could almost touch them, see what they were seeing, feel what they were feeling I have not read a bo [...]

    Tosca Lee keeps getting better and better.The Legend of Sheba follows the story of the queen who ruled Sheba modern day Ethiopia during the reign of King Solomon While we learn a lot about the country and their social, religious, and political beliefs in this book, what will draw Christian readers is the conundrum of King Solomon But be warned, although we honor King Solomon as the wisest of kings, he did not obey God s commands and his kingdom crumbled because of his disobedience He took hundre [...]

    I really can t say enough about The Legend of Sheba by Tosca Lee This book is so well written and beautiful I have been a fan of Tosca s work for a few years now, and I was very excited to read this newest book I was not disappointed Once again Tosca proves her ability to weave words together to create a vivid story and take you with it, never lessening its hold I was spell bound for 18 hours Completely enraptured As soon as I finished I wanted to start it again right away If you like historical [...]

    I read this in 3 days which is unusual for me I was pulled in by the beautiful language and writing and I immediately found myself invested in the character if Bilqis Sheba I love historical fiction, but occasionally I will get so curious about the actual events or time period, my attention wanders from the story in front of me This didn t happen here, although as soon as I finished I started googling all kinds of things to learn about this fascinating Queen I really enjoyed the mental jousting [...]

    Loved it Full review to come.In the Bible, the Queen of Sheba s visit to King Solomon s court is thirteen verses long It is a mere occurrence in the reign of Solomon, and yet, what would have it ben like for the queen of the opulent county of Saba to meet Israel s wise king Queen Bilqis, comfortable in her sequestered life in a neighboring country, becomes queen, but at great personal sacrifice her soul to the priests of Saba s gods and her heart to a harsh desert battle When King Solomon demand [...]

    I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for an open and honest review.Beautifully written and deeply moving, continually asking us who we are, who God is and where we meet The Legend of Sheba is slow to start but swiftly catches you into the world of desert sands, camel caravans and the searching, nomadic soul within us all Tosca Lee has composed another page turner combining history, romance and the search for truth.We are introduced to a knew, energized Queen of Sheba, called [...]

    There is a tale that is told A desert queen journeyed north with a caravan of riches to pay tribute to a king and his One God The story of a queen conquered by a king before she returned to her own land laden with gifts That is the tale you are mean to believe Which means most of it is a lie The truth is far than even storytellers could conjure The riches priceless The secrets corrosive The love and betrayal passionate and devastating, both LoveThe very word is a husk shriveled beneath the s [...]

    QUICK HIT The Legend of Sheba wraps tradition, legend, and speculation around a core of factual truth to develop a story that is breathtakingly beautiful in premise, prose, and plot.She is an enigma, a mystery, an unknown even to those close to her A queen in a patriarchal world Ruler of a wealthy kingdom in the middle of a barren land Rough yet feminine Calculating yet not devoid of emotion Wanting love but knowing that do so risked her power.She is Bilqis, queen of Sheba And this is her story.

    First of all, Tosca Lee is an exquisitely poetic writer She is also incredibly talented at digging into the heads of forgotten or cast aside persons It is always very obvious that she does her research What was the culture What was the actual religious thought What would a real man or woman do, in their shoes Too often, we take these characters at face value Tosca challenges us to think and feel beyond that To love the ones we may have thought were unlovable I have read all of her books, and eve [...]

    Tosca Lee s powerful writing plucked me from my armchair and transported me back to a long ago era where Solomon sat on his throne and the Queen of Sheba beguiled him from afar I was swept up into the moving story from the first chapter, and soon scenes were racing across my mind with vivid clarity, painted there by Lee s talented pen I have gained a whole new appreciation for the Queen of Sheba, and Tosca Lee has clearly done her research with this novel as it breathes with historical authentic [...]
    Brandi (Rambles of a SAHM)
    The biblical account of the queen of Sheba is short It is located in I Kings 10 and 2 Chronicles 9 In these verses there are very few details about who she was and what surrounded her visit In The Legend of Sheba Tosa Lee has used her vast amount of research and her brilliant storytelling abilities to fill in some of the gaps.This book is a literary delight It is both gritty and beautiful at the same time If you have delicate sensibilities you may consider passing on this one But if you aren t f [...]

    I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.I have loved Tosca Lee s retelling of biblical characters From the nefarious Judas Iscariot, to now this barely mentioned Queen of Sheba, whom is given a mere 13 verses 1 Kings 10 1 13 I ve never understood this pagan queen whom goes before Solomon and delivers this rousing speech about how wonderful the Lord of Israel is She never seemed to convert, wasn t she afraid of her own gods jealousies and spite This book however delves int [...]

    Ah, the elusive magic of a story that is technically a four star story, but got dragged down to three stars because my personal tastes struggle with even the most well told angsty romance I will say I really enjoyed the romantic thread as long as the intellectual side of it kept up That I found fascinating The historical context was very well set up without being intrusive I am rather amazed and the visual style brought the whole story to life Balqis story is fascinating The play through of her [...]
    Melissa
    I won this book on I absolutely LOVED this book It was a little slow in the beginning, but once it got started, I could hardly put it down This story is told from the viewpoint of the Queen of Sheba, from her being a child into her adulthood, so it s part historical and part fiction It is , also, part Christian as King Solomon plays a big part in it This is the first book in a series and I cannot wait until the second one comes out If you love history and fiction, this is a great book to read.
    Rebecca
    Extremely well written and researched Tosca Lee never disappoints with her ability to spin a tale from such minute amounts of detail There may not be much known to us about the Queen of Sheba and Solomon, but she takes the barest hints of these worlds and creates a story to remember Rise Of A Queen begins at the beginning of a future queens life we follow her through her hardships as a child, young love and loss in her youth, her rise to power as a young adult, and her inquisitive, search for he [...]
    Bonita
    In her lyrical prose, Tosca Lee weaves the story of an obscure biblical character, Sheba, revealing a searching, emotional, clever, woman turned queen who longed for one thing than all, and found her longings mirrored in the heart of a wise and broken king Tosca Lee breathes characters to life in the heart of the reader She creates a haunting tale of love and loss and the heart of an unknown God pursuing an outsider and calling her to Him.
