The Sword of Medina edition by Sherry Jones Literature Fiction eBooks
First of all I must thank Sherry Jones for introducing me to A'isha.What a remarkable woman!
After finishing "The jewel of Medina" I've made a quick search on the web about her and found out many of the events on the first book actually happened, even those which didn't occur at exactly at the age the author portrays in the book (A'isha's age of course). That made me love the book even more. this is what reading should do to you, open your horizons and make you wish to know more on the subject.
The thing is after you know a little more your expectations rise.
This was what happened to me with "The sword of Medina". There are again true facts surrounded by fiction, but here I missed the relevance A'isha had on the second caliphate . During her father's caliphate it was expected, since she was family, but from what I have read on the web, she also had a role as political consultant to Umar, the second Caliph. As for the third caliph, Uthman, as portrayed in the book, she did not agreed with his politics which she view as going further away from Muhammad's teachings although she would later condemn his assassination( this is also portrayed in the book). Again, as in the book, this will lead to the "Battle of the camel" and A'isha's loss of the battle to Ali.
In the book A'isha retreats to a secluded life teaching the qu'ran, and again this is true, but I have also read that although she did that she continued to influence many who were involved in politics.
I can well see that.
Despite not having the same impact on me as "The jewel of Medina" I still enjoyed the characters and story very much, yet I've missed these little things... but I give it 5* in Amazon because I didn't just like it, I liked it very much.

The Sword of Medina edition by Sherry Jones Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The her first book was better in giving a background of the inner workings of Mohammed and his followers. I did not finish this sequel book. L.Engel
This book is a great follow up to the JEWEL OF MEDINA. You will learn about what happens to Islam and the people after the death of Mohammed. I hope there is a third book to follow up the SWORD OF MEDINA.
This author's books would make a great HBO series.
This book was okay. I bought it as a follow up to the first book. The storyline was not as in depth as I would have liked. Overall, it was a quick read.
Great Book! I love books that are set in different periods of history and this book did not disappoint!
This is the second of this author's books concerning Medina. Actually, THE JEWEL OF MEDINA was her first and I would recommend that it be read first. The premise of this series is to show life in the time of the very beginning of Islam. The writer takes us from the first prophet, Mohammed through the 4th leader of the "church". Because she has done this in the format of a novel, I fell in love with the heroine , the very down to earth Prophet, and his harem. I learned a lot about the culture of the times, the history of the times and even after this the second book, my heart was very sad to say goodbye to these marvelous characters. This was a Great read.
As someone who has limited exposure to the Muslim religion, I found this book to be extremely interesting. While some would dwell on the violence and the intrigue in the book, I was more drawn to the devotion and the beauty that seemed to underlie the story.
Too boring to finish. The first volume of this book was mildly interesting (as well as being stomach-turning), maybe a 2-star; but this book is a complete waste of my time, and I'm quitting half-way through. (VERY rare for me to do.)
