These have a certain momentum to them without ever really being compelling in any identifiable way to me.

The beginning of this one was a little slow, but it got better toward the end. Happy to keep going!

Once again delightful. Who knew this series would have me looking up the Napoleonic Wars so I know the outcome of the battles before reading it, my anxiety 😩😩😩. Enjoying the character development and their adventures.
