Review: good change of pace

The story revolves around a boy who excels in a military academy and it sent on a secret mission in time to the Civil War. The story was well-paced, the main characters developed, and it held my attention throughout. The beginning of the book is heavily focused on military training, and the time travel part picks up in the second half. It was an easy read and I really did enjoy it. There were a few twists with the characters that I enjoyed as well. However, there was one major sticking point I couldn't get past. If you send someone to the past to change it, then how can you, in the future, know that the past was altered? Also, in the end, the main character did something I didn't think was necessary (there was another solution nearby). However, I applaud the book for trying something different on the time travel genre and look forward to future books in this series.
