This book would not have been my first choice of reading, but I was pleasantly surprised by many aspects within it. The war is over, Everett is ready to be discharged, and he has settled nothing with Emma, with whom he should never have had a relationship to begin with. He is a little out of his depth with the war ended. What is a soldier supposed to do when there is nothing left to fight or fight for?This book does dredge up Pirates of the Caribbean vibes, but that is definitely a positive thing. The characters are a little shaky to start with, and the reader has to swallow quite a few terms and a decent bit of geography in the first few chapters, but things do even out as Robin Lloyd finds his stride.
I did not love this book, but I would be very willing to give Lloyd's other works a fighting chance. His style is interesting and he definitely has a place here.
