It's a good thing Retribution is the last book in its series. Overall, the book was boring and predictable. The story continues Rivka's and Ari's journey in historic Israel. I mostly read it just to get done with it and send it back to the library. Nothing about the storyline grabbed me. It just went all over the place and ended predictably and strangely. The ending was the worst part. When I reach the last sentence, I looked back at the previous page to see what was going on. The ending was stupid and completely contrary to the rest of the book. It's probably the worst book about Israel in Roman times I have ever read. 2 stars for historical accuracy

While I agree this should be the last book in this series and the book is pretty predictable. I think it is interesting because of its historical detail and attention it gives to the suffering of the Jews at the time. He could have done a few things to make it grab the reader more. Overall it is his worst book but it is pretty good. As usual with Ingermanson the ending was not that great but it is worth a read. 3.3 stars (mostly for historical accuracy)
