My rating: 3.75/5
A fatal injury. A lifesaving serum. Instant immortality. This is the reality of the primary characters in the ‘No Less Days’ series that follows a small group of individuals who, decades prior, became involuntarily immortal. The series regards these individuals as they navigate the modern world having lived for close to a century and confront past traumas that have significantly impacted their lives. All That’s Fair by Amanda G. Stevens is the third book in the series, in which matters of forgiveness and liberation are fused within the plot that created an engrossing story.
Cady Schuster is no stranger to death. Having lived for a century and witnessing the death of numerous family members over the years, as well as working as a combat nurse during the World War I, she has seen her share of death. However, a recent devastating loss has thrown her into the woes of grief and compels her to relocate to another city. She meets Paige, a mortal she unexpectedly befriends, whose controlling and abusive husband is a danger to Paige. In her desire to help her new friend, she is thrown into a risky situation that threatens her safety as well as the security of her fellow immortal friends. This tumultuous experience will help revive her faith in God and will spark her compassion to forgive and trust.
“She had lived nearly a century and a half and still sinned all the time, still failed people she loved, still chafed at God’s timing and tried to run on ahead of His plans” –All That’s Fair.
Considered speculative Christian fiction, All That’s Fair is a superb novel with a unique plot. Reemerging characters from the previous books in the series makes the story enjoyable and the touch of suspense in the storyline is entertaining. The Christian faith content within the plot was encouraging, with characters depicted praying and growing in their faith in Christ. Moreover, this is an enthralling series, and I look forward to reading more novels by the author.
