I did like this book but I found it to be a bit dry. Granted it is based on actual people and the stories/accounts that surround them but there seemed to be something lacking. I expected there to be more action in the story and less the build up aspect that seemed to be going on. There is a small percentage of the book that is focused on the characters and actual fighting, the rest is how they all became part of the movement and what their roles were. I will say once the book was past the part where it explained all the characters back stories and how they came together, the story started to become dry for me. The ending on the other hand picked up speed and I appreciated how the story was wrapped up. The beginning and end were really good, some parts in the middle were just too slow for me. I tend to like a lot going on in a book.The characters in the book were very well written and I could almost hear their voices, accents included, in my head with the dialogue. A lot of the descriptive aspect when it came to the characters did bring them to life and I could tell there was a lot of thought and research that went into character development. Overall I liked the story and would consider reading this author again.
