I'm picky with historical fiction as it depends on the subject. It sounds like the author has pulled this one off really well, and made it interesting to read too. A great review :)

Nice review Naval as always. You described the book beautifully. Though I do not enjoy such novels, your review was interesting to read.
What is the most special thing I did today- I was MYSELF. Happy and in love and unapologetically myself.

I was curious about the title of this book; that's why, I decided to read your review. It's a good thing "the story of the book satisfies the title of the book". Also, I found your review very objective and informative, but I'm not a fan of historical fiction. Thanks for this good review!

Thanks for the review. I am a bit fun on this genre but sometimes it is hard to pinpoint the author's view. Nice review. I want to try reading this one. Happy holiday.

Its Avery good historic fiction book full of thrill. I have not opted any historic fiction book so far. But your interesting review has compelled to review such books too. Great review.

I adore history and especially look forward to reading this book. I never knew that the Civil War had any type of serious battle so far west, so this is particularly intriguing to me. I know the book is fiction, but it must be drawn from some facts from the time. Great review!
