This was quite a story! This historical novel set in the French Indian War spans a gap over several years for siblings Theo and Constance. As young teens, Theo and Constance are orphaned. Through circumstances not of their own making, they are separated from one another.
Constance's journey takes her from India to France and to North America. Theo becomes a soldier and makes his way on land and sea throughout the world and also ends up in North America.
This was quite a journey for Theo and Constance. There was romance, action, history, and deceit. I really enjoyed reading about Theo's life and adventures but found myself really disliking Constance early on. She never really redeemed herself in my eyes.
This is typically not my genre of book nor my style, but I did enjoy the story, once I could get over my intense dislike of the despicable Constance. I would recommend to anyone who likes a lot of war and action in a book. Thanks to #BookishFirst for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.
