A personification of history. Aaron is a young man, a good kid, who when he travels alone to a nearby city is treated to a very rough deal, changing his life. He is basically shanghaied into the British army and put on a boat to fight in Canada and America during the revolutionary war. Very detailed historical tale yet told from Aaron's personal view, making it easy to understand and envision. Men and women readers alike have to love this kid. You easily become attached and want only the best for him, although he has a rough life and it's rarely easy for him. From a British perspective, but fair to both sides. Interesting ending makes you want to know more. Good long read. 99.9% clean read.

I received this book free from the author, publisher and NetGalley book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

The Wessex Turncoat by Michael E. Wills starts dragging the story and it too slow and stilted and not engaging enough.
