Review: Enjoyable, entertaining fantasy not military sci-fi.

I have read a number of Mr. Nuttall's book, starting back with one that has yet to be published, dealing with the Posleen, a la John Ringo. I have greatly enjoyed his books. I have yet to toss one aside saying it was rubbish.  This one is an alternate universe book, a what if book. Britain discovered it had magic and sorcerers, and used them in the military to defeat the American Colony uprising and to win other wars. The world is very different from what we know today.  This book sets out how that happened, and the lengths that the government will go to in order to ensure they stay in power, regardless of the harm to the middle class, the poor. See young Gwen dragged (gratefully) away from her family to be a sorceress, and her exposure to all, good and evil, and her efforts to make change. I liked this book, it kept me entertained, and I was sad it ended. I am sure I will re-read this again in the near future. I look forward to the continued adventures of The Royal Sorceress in the next book.
