Fire in the East by Harry Sidebottom
3.0
I have mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, the historical accuracy is amazing, which is one of the reasons I decided to read this book. The problem with historical accuracy is that it can be hard to follow, and doesn't always make sense.
The biggest problem I had with this novel, which is the first in a trilogy, was that it was slow going. Reading this book, particularly the first 150 pages takes time. It's not a book that I would recommend someone take on a vacation or to the beach. Getting through this novel takes some time, it's a very choice for a rainy day or blizzard.
The characters in this book have been well thought out and will capture your attention. An index in the back of the book helps you keep the large cast straight.
I enjoyed the book well enough that I will read the next book in the series, though I won't try until my life has slowed down and I know I'm going to have plenty of time to really read the book and not just read a couple of pages here and there.
