Review of Prince slave soldier king
Slavery is an important aspect of history, especially for Africans. I've always thought that our African ancestors paved the way for slavery in Africa. They knowingly accepted gifts from foreigners and sold their people into slavery for wealth. Prince slave soldier king by Victoria Eyre gives the reader an insight into the history of slavery using the story of Tom Peters.
Tom Peters, a royal at birth, fell into slavery at a young age. His mother died, and his father was killed. At a slave fort, he was taken by Pedro, who was in charge of managing the fort. Tom was taken as a companion to Pedro's son, Carlos. He and Carlos grew up together as brothers and loved each other very much. They were oblivious to what was going on in the fort, until later on, they found out as they grew older. They hated the idea of slavery and wanted to put an end to it. Things got bad when Carlos and Tom were abducted into slavery. On reaching Charleston in South Carolina, Tom and Carlos were separated. Tom and three others were then taken to a cotton plantation. Grab a copy of this book to find out what happens to Tom and Carlos and how they navigate through a life of slavery.
I love historical fiction novels, but this story was breathtaking. I've read books that detail the history of slavery in Africa. But, with this book, I could imagine what it felt like to be a slave during that era. The book was well-researched and has cultural significance. It gives the cultural background and heritage of the African, British, Portuguese, and American people. The book also contained several illustrations. I loved the illustrations as they made the book more captivating and made the storyline very compelling. Tom's life history is detailed. The reader is taken on a journey from childhood to adulthood. Every description made was well-constructed. The storyline was also concise and contained every important aspect of Tom's life.
There was absolutely nothing I disliked about this book. It had a real-life setting. The scenes were also well-developed. The book had major and minor characters that were well-developed. The character's roles were clearly expressed. The book also had the elements of surprise and suspense. I admired the relationship between Carlos and Tom. Although they were not blood-related, they loved each other very much. The character I loved the most was Tom. He was intelligent, brave, and had the qualities of a good leader.
The book was professionally edited. I only came across one error while reading it. The author's writing style is engaging. The themes contained in the book include friendship, war, slavery, liberation, etc. I'm therefore rating Prince slave soldier king by Victoria Eyre 4 out of 4 stars. I recommend this book to lovers of historical fiction novels.
