This
is the second book in the Josiah Stubb series and in my opinion is even
better than the first. C W Lovatt writes with such attention to
historical detail and with an empathy and affection for his characters
that it is a joy to read. Full of excitement, and building up momentum
as it goes along, I did not want to put the book down on many occasions.
He cleverly weaved threads from the first novel into the second and at
times I'd nod to myself smiling whilst thinking "Oh now that is a clever
touch". The book gathers pace so quickly, especially towards the end,
that the chapters themselves become shorter as if to build up the
suspense and excitement as he tells the story from the minds of the
different characters as the fighting and story unfolds (and in the first
person too, which is a stroke of literary genius.) I love how we see
Josiah's achievements , but how he still doubts himself. I do not want
to go into too much detail as it will give the story away (especially
for those that have read the first book and want to find out for
themselves) but to say I'm looking forward to the third book is an
understatement.. Bravo Mr Lovatt. and thank you.
