King Solomon's Wives by Holly McDowell was a really neat read. It was a cool blend of the past caught up in the action of the present and I really enjoyed!King Solomon's Wives was such a unique idea. I loved learning more about the Wives and their history. The book had a lot of flashbacks of memories from Wives who had already passed on, so that was neat seeing the origins of their way of life.  I did wish sometimes the flashbacks were a bit shorter, as the length made things seem a bit disjointed from the present day story line at time.The stakes are high in this one and it was so much fun to read. Holly McDowell really raises a lot of questions in this one that I am anxious to find out the answers. I really also enjoyed Holly McDowell`s prose.The characters were a really interesting mix. They had all grown up in this same society, but they all were so different from one another. I really like Sumarra - she was so defiant and strong. I also liked Mina a lot and I hope to see more of her in future installments.I cannot wait for the next installment of the story, as this one was so good! And the ending was an absolute killer, which made me even more excited for the next book! I highly recommend King Solomon's Wives as it was a great read on a totally new idea.
