The Prophetess: Deborah's Story by Jill Eileen Smith

3.0

I really enjoy biblical fiction as it tends to make dig into the bible and examine the depth of it. This book was good, but not great for me. It had some very interesting history, but I felt a bit scattered as I read it.
I enjoyed Deborah's storyline, but Jael and Deborah's daughter were almost larger than life characters that took over the story. I was more interested in the secondary characters story than the main ones. I would have loved to see a little more development there.
But over all, it was a fascinating edition of this bible story played out, about a character many do not speak of as much.
