The Blooding of Jack Absolute by C.C. Humphreys
4.0
Well-written action-packed historical fiction.
I hadn't read any of the other books in the series before I read this book but I was intrigued by the blurb so I requested a free advanced copy from NetGalley. Then, I bought the second book in the series because I enjoyed this one so much.
The problem with a prequel is that there's no real threat - you know who survives because of the next book, but there's enough action here to not make that an issue.
There may be panic-triggers for some women in this book. Wannabe-Men have made me afraid of men, but it's Real-Men who keep reminding me that not every guy is a Wannabe. Jack, despite his youth, acts like he will be a Real-Man when he grows up.
