Review: A captivating story that is not for the faint of heart

As a few other reviewers have mentioned, the bloody action scenes that are featured in this book are not for the faint of heart. Normally, I’m not a fan of gratuitous scenes of violence.However, I feel that the graphic scenes of violence and torture that the author depicts in “There Be Dragons” make the story more believable. They make the reader feel just as petrified and desperate as the men led by Lieutenant Jacobs.Consider that and the fact that the suspenseful story that Hallett weaves has a rather bleak ending, and you will understand why I think that this book is not for the faint of heart.That being said, the storytelling is fantastic, the characters are intriguing, and the book is a gem.
