3 Stars

Martas Legacy, for both books were as usual per Francine Rivers, written beautifully.  She is a fabulous author and I absolutely LOVE her work. Although I do not love this piece.  I rated it 3 stars because I just couldn't rate Francine Rivers with anything less.  That being said, this series is extremely heart wrenching.  I will not read it again because of this.  I do not enjoy the feelings this series pulled me through.  Her books are all deep and meaningful, however this one, just never gave me the happy ending I need in a book.  If you don't need that, and don't have tendencies toward depression, this book series is fantastic.  However, if you do NOT enjoy crying through out a good book, I do not recommend it!
