So, continuing from last week's rendition of the book, it has gotten far more interesting. The great, heroic parts of the story have begun and the Cossack army I was talking about is at it's peak. Dukes have been overthrown, lords slain and many, many men lost in the revolution. The Grand Duchy of Polo-Lithuania looks as though it's about to topple until the tragedies begin. Commanders are slain and the tide is turned. The Cossack fortune has turned to loss and in the wake of the Russian empire invading, all seems lost.Surprisingly dramatic, and with a very, very climatic ending. Loved the book completely, 5/5. The time put in to combining the historical aspects of Polo-Lithuania and making them seem oh-so heroic at first, but then making war look how it should. Not glorious, but painful and sad. The boom captured me and held, a wonderful read for anyone I would say, especially those fond of a glorious battle or two.
