While I understand the thinking behind Mercy wanting to save the man she loved (she was also worried that he might cry out at her execution to save her, and thus be charged as a wizard) I was dismayed that she would make that choice. True, she was sentenced to hang, but by hanging herself, she removed the possibility for God to move on her behalf. Could a miracle have saved her from her fate? Yes. Would it? Probably not, since 19 other people met the same fate. I would hate to be in the position to have to make such a decision.<BR/><BR/>I did enjoy this book, though. It's a wonderfully told story, and I stayed up entirely too late last night to finish it!Jennifer AlLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18178922554247015759noreply@blogger.com
