A very good book, well written and well researched. It is engaging from the very first page and leaves you wanting till the very last. It is an emotional journey, dynamic and adventerous. Written emphasizing all five senses, it helps you experience an era in the crude realistic way that the events occurred. A journey of hope, loss, strength and survival. Highly recommended and eagerly waiting for the next books to be pubblished.5/5 stars!It review time! I wanna thank the author and publisher for sending me this book in exchange for an honest review!I absolutely loved this book. I know I usually read YA fantasy or Sci-fi but fun fact before I read YA I used to read a lot of historical fiction!So when reading historical fictions the first thing I am looking for is time period accuracy and this book was spot on I felt like I was transported into this time period which helped for a deeper understanding of the characters
If you liked Outlanders you'll love this book
I have just finished reading the Sheriffs Catch a roller coaster ride from start to finish.

The genre as we know it became particularly popular in Europe in the 19th Century, through the works of such authors as Scott, Balzac and Hugo. The historical novel was often the
This is an excellent piece of historical fiction. I have not been this excited about a book series since Game of Thrones. But unlike GoT, the five books of this series have already been written and are awaiting publication.In my mind, this book is a three-way cross between Ken Folletts Kingsbridge series, Game of Thrones, and the Bourne Series. Its an exceedingly well researched historical drama (Ken Follett) with a brutally honest depiction of the realities of warfare (GoT) at a relentless pace
