Seeking the Light of Justice was the first book in the Hoshiyan chronicles, written by Barry Nadel. Yoshua Rosenberg, the main character, was on an exciting journey. He is an archaeologist who spent about 25 years looking for the legendary light of justice. His quest takes him to mysterious locations and exposes him to an action-packed, potentially dangerous chain of circumstances. In reference to a letter, he visited the synagogue museum in search of information regarding the light of justice. In the same way, his search for any hints regarding the light of justice continued. But most of it was in vain, and occasionally, it was difficult to know what to do next. He appears to have discovered some buried truth of the past during the excavation of the church in Israel, and the entire narrative begins with a mysterious, interesting storyline.

The biggest benefit of this book is how the plot develops into something more engaging as we read. It makes it one of the most captivating stories. It includes all the necessary aspects to be entertaining, ranging from mystery, action, and suspense to humor, religion, open-mindedness, love, friendship and more. Likewise,it was curious how the author uncovered the hidden truth, mystery, and history in every chapter. Despite being a 400-page work, the writing was accurate and easy to follow. The conclusion leaves us with an exciting manner to pique our interest in the next volume. Yoshua, the main character, had a fascinating personality. Despite the ongoing opposition he faced from the Vatican or the government, he made attempts to uncover the reality. The plot becomes nitpicky because of the archaeological team's persistent attempts, which made us wonder whether they would be successful or not. He and his teammates are at the center of the narrative. This narrative has a lot to teach us. The storyline did a good job of developing the character's feelings. Tzion was one of his teammates I liked. He consistently stood at Yoshua's side and offered assistance. There were no flaws in the writing style.

This book rarely has any defects, in my opinion. The author occasionally explains events in a confused or dragged manner, which is one of the book's negative aspects. It can be challenging for me to understand the plot or theme, may be because I lack background information about them. Other than that, I found the novel to be interesting to read, and it greatly expanded my understanding of how fantastical archaeology will function.

I rated this book 4 out of 4 stars. I really enjoyed this series, and I can't wait to read the next book when I have the time and chance. I wouldn't deduct a star or give a poor review because the narrative held my interest long enough for me to finish it. Additionally, it contains everything that should be in a story to keep readers interested. Israel to Spain, Jews to Christians, an archaeological team versus the government and the Vatican—all of these debates and enigmatic truths—make it worthwhile to read and deserves full stars.

I suggest reading this book if you enjoy historical mysteries, fantasy, thrillers, and sci-fi action. The religious texts have been mentioned in a few places. In places where the Vatican was addressed negatively, it was done so for narrative purposes only and not in an offensive way. Therefore, if it can hurt your sentiments, you can ignore it; otherwise, anyone can read these books regardless of differences. You will learn a lot about the world of archaeology through it.

I have have been putting off reading this book for a while now, but I wouldn't have guessed this is what it was about. I enjoy reading stories about searches for age old treasures. Your review has made me want to read this book. Well done.
