I received the book from the author for an honest review.Written from one protagonist point of view, I found Josiah Stubb a fascinating character. His casual way of relaying his story to us in the midst of the Battle of Louisbourg, draws you into his own battle of life and choices; in his case choices that were forced upon him. Shining in the midst of all the turmoil, his longing for his sweetheart and his relationships with friends and his superiors.Through his eyes, you get a closer look at the battle itself as well as the life he left behind, and the reasons for being in the army. His maturity, strong character and intelligence the very highlight of the whole book. You could not help but to admire him.Every unique character was masterful crafted to give you a better perspective of the times and the things they faced.You could not help but to indulge yourself in the writing, the characters and the plot as the scenes unfold.Really a great tribute for the Siege of Louisbourg, and the people who lived through it.Just love the cover, it's the perfect design for this book and the time period.
