Official Review: Playing Chess with God

I like historical fiction. I'd love to learn more about the California Gold Rush and this book sounds perfect for this.

I love historical fiction novels and I'm looking forward to reading this one. I have never read anything based around this era so I am very interested. Thank You for your review.

When reading a historical fiction novel I often wonder how many parts of it are influenced by real events. Thank you for your review and an intriguing look inside this novel.

It's mind-boggling to imagine a lawful, honest, and caring protagonist in the midst of unlawful individuals during the California Gold Rush. For fans of historical fiction, this sounds like an awesome book to read. Great review!

I love a good historical fiction, and the California Gold Rush is a great premise. This book sounds super interesting!

[Jorge Leon Salazar]

A fiction novel that is based on real events that occurred during the period of the California Gold Rush. Recommended to anyone who likes the genre of historical fiction.

You say there's no proper villain and that the antagonists are too easily vanquished. While that should be detrimental to the story - and for a moment I felt disappointed to hear that - I'm now looking forward to good easily triumphing! Just for something different, a wish fulfilled...

[CasHollinger]

The title is so interesting and learning that it was about the events of the gold rush really captivated my attention. Thank you for writing this review I enjoyed learning about the book.

I love historical fiction novel. A too perfect antagonist is quite unreal but not bad at all. The book sounds promising. A wonderful review.

I am of the opinion that the plot may have been a bit more action packed had there also been a main villain. However, the plot is still an interesting one and I am also curious about this period of history.

Thanks for the review. So this book is a historical novel with some good characters of a business mindset. Sounds interesting but I don't think I can keep up with the characters appearing and disappearing.

[Nuel Ukah]

The story wasn't what I was expecting after reading the title. I don't feel like reading this book now.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting historical fiction about or occurring around the time of the California Gold Rush. The story follows a Puritan that has fallen in love with a Chilean woman and decides to move to California before anyone else. It seems like it might be worth a second look. Well done.

Historical fiction is not for me, but a good review.
