The Kingdom on the Waves by M.T. Anderson
4.0
This novel exceeded my expectations which were high because I had found the first volume captivating and incredibly fascinating. Anderson continued Octavian's story by showing his involvement in the American Revolutionary War. I was totally surprised by how Octavian becomes involved and what happened to him.
Anderson continued his story with excellent writing, attention to detail and attention to history. I learned a lot about what happened to African-Americans during the fight for liberty. I will be thinking about what I learned about that right (liberty) in this book.
I especially appreciated Anderson's afterword. I don't want to give it away, but it helped be resolve my feelings about how the book ends.
I recommend this book to anyone interested in American history, to readers who want a good story and to those who like their conception of the world challenged.
