OUR REVIEW
When I first started Refining Fire by Tracie Peterson, I thought oh dear, just when are we going to find out what was the main idea for this book? A lot of Christian daily life was happening, and that was ok, as I always love a clean and wholesome read. I feel that starting off with book two of the series was ok, since the author did catch the reader up on who was who, and placed the setting in Seattle, Washington Territory...January 1889.
The story takes place at the Madison Bridal School in Seattle, where young girls live and train to be sophisticated, loving knowledgeable brides. Abrianna takes the main attention of the story, as a fiery red headed strong willed young woman,
Love finds its way to the girls, each in a different manor and surprisingly in unexpected ways. The end result leaves you having to actually read book three to find a satisfying ending.
I feel the author researched the time period accurately, as the book had an authentic feel to it and tied the cover of the book into the last chapters of the story.
A wonderful, wholesome read but just a bit of extra "fillers" to drag the story down to a slow pace.
