Two books by Gerald N. Lund

A Generation Rising
The Storm Descends

Why I have these books: I borrowed them from the ebook library.

These are the first two books in the Fire and Steel series, which is set around the time of WWI.

I gave them each three stars on Goodreads. I did like them, especially learning more about Germany during and after WWI. I'm not sure how I felt about the way they reminded me of The Work and the Glory or the Children of the Promise series. The writing had the same feel (which makes sense since Gerald Lund wrote The Work and the Glory series) when the story was focused on any character who was a member of the Church. This was especially true when we "met" the American family in the second book. I don't know... it just seems a little stereotypical or something in the way they talk. I didn't love that so much.

All in all, I liked the books, but I didn't like them enough to jump right into the next book in the series. It's kind of too bad, because I do like learning about the historical events associated with this time period.

Clean.

(I'm playing catch up again on books I've been reading, so I just am picking dates that are close to when I remember reading these books.)
