Scott’s Frontier Engagement is inspie-light (some heartfelt praying and one lovely forest-set singing of “Amazing Grace”), but not inspired to offer anything new or original in the subgenre. Miss B’s relentless pursuit of good inspie fiction is running down like an wound-up toy. ![]() ![]() There is a time to kill, a time for justice, and A TIME FOR MERCY.
