Review: Not your typical feel good romance novel
Rating: 4 out of 5

Even though there are many things in this book that upset me, I could not put it down.  I did not look at it as some other reviewers did.  Instead, I look at it as a small glimpse at what life for a woman was like in that time period.  Just as the title says, she is a spoil of war.  A prize to be used as the winner sees fit.  Of course, today's standards don't allow for this, but back then....The battle scenes were a little on the gory side.  Also, there are many rape scenes and references toward child rape or prostitution. If you are sensitive to these, then this is not the book for you.
