4.5

This was a random read for me (2024 challenge, run some numbers corresponding to a book on a shelf at my local library and read one of those a month), so I wasn't sure what to expect as I'd never read anything of the like. I was pleasantly surprised at how invested I was in everything. Fast paced, well written, and intriguing, this book kept my attention better than a lot of popular titles. A good read for anyone who likes history and "what if this happened" scenarios.

This book held my attention from start to finish. It asks the question: what happens if eight modern US Army cadets get transported mysteriously into the middle of the American Revolution? With black and female cadets, how would they be received, how could America be different? How might technology change and the war’s outcomes?

Character-based and well-plotted, I couldn't believe this was over when it was (felt like there should be more pages). A mark of a great book.

Five stars.
