History is one of the most fascinating subjects around in my opinion and I love reading books that center its plot around historical realities. The "New World" is a part of an American history that those of us from the United States are inherently tied to even if our ancestors didn't arrive till much later. I think what you get in this book is a coming of age story. It is essentially an age old tale of youthful optimism and adventure lust that turns into disillusionment by virtue the harsh realities of the world we live in. Plot development and characters were well done, all while being set well against a historical backdrop. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more in this series. I would recommend this book to people who like historical genre novels and encourage those who like adventure stuff to get out of their comfort zone to add this to their repertoire as well.
