In this thrilling 320-page book, Jean-Michel Desire tells a captivating tale that narrates the miraculous phenomena of the miracle ladies in the world and the various background forces that try to use these phenomena to their advantage. The Miracle Ladies is an enthralling text which narrates the events which occurred in a previous book by the author titled The Fantasy Man. This does not limit the understanding of the reader, as this book is a different thing altogether. It narrates the betrayals, deceit, power struggle, and strategy which goes on behind the scenes of the Miracle Ladies' amazing powers of influencing catastrophic events. The Redeemer is an individual who is behind the Miracle Ladies, and even though his main goal is never fully revealed, he continuously states that all his actions are for the better good of humankind. His mission does not go smoothly, however, as there are a few hitches along the way.

The style of the author in writing this book requires applause. Desire does not rush the progress of this book. Rather, he takes his time to gently progress the book in a manner that ensures that the average person can grasp the rather complex historical and religious contents which can be found within this book. Even though, to some people, this may make the book seem wordy, the author used these words to weave the story to create something beautiful. This is by far one of my favorite things about this book.

Another positive aspect of this book is the high use of suspense. In the first chapter of this book, in a prologue-esque scenario, we see an emperor and his subject discussing an event. There is no specific explanation of this event until later, far into the book. This is just one of a good deal of suspense present in this book. This creative use of suspense leaves the reader surprised at the unpredictable turn of events as they unfold. There are so many twists and turns which cannot be expected by the reader, no matter how obvious they seem.

Also, the author uses many descriptive and informative words to convey knowledge to the reader. The setting of this book spreads across America and Europe. The author describes every single location in such a way that the reader receives a sort of history lesson about each landmark or important thing in each location. This adds an extra incentive to read this book. He also filled this book with so many religious histories dating back to times after the birth of Jesus. The author provides links for the reader to gain more knowledge of these historical pieces in the event they want to know. This is one of the positive aspects of this book.

I found nothing which I disliked while reading this book. However, this book was not written with children or people below the age of adulthood in mind. This is because of the rather high amount of violent content which can be found within this book. It also contains a significant number of profane language. While reading, I discovered only one error, which is a testament to how well this book was edited and proofread.

I will rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. An age-old saying is that a laborer deserves his wages. Desire has done excellent work putting together a book as interesting as this. There is nothing to dislike about this book, and the plot is very captivating. I will recommend this book to all who love thrilling novels and those who are interested in religious history.

I can’t tell who the Miracle Ladies are and what their significance really is from the review but it’s clear from your sounding applause that the author did a good job in his writing, including character development, suspense management, and descriptive prowess. Thanks for the review!

I like that this novel builds upon, but is not limited to, the previous book. The low number of errors Is encouraging as are the links to more information.

Everyone I know who has read this book tells me how great it is but I honestly don’t know why it just seems convoluted to me. Maybe I’m still judging this one but it’s cover.
