A review by relly
A Soldier's Wish by N.R. Walker
5.0
Best of the series
4.5 ⭐️
This one has finally knocked off the first book as the best of the series. What works in both books is that the author took the time for the characters to really get to know each other. Funny because at the start when the boys were meeting each other I wondered if I would finish it, but I shouldn’t have worried.
In this one Richard and Gary meet and attend Woodstock together. But Richard who has already committed to the army leaves from there to go to Vietnam. The relationship then progresses through a series of letters and visits. I enjoyed the use of the letters as it really gave them a chance to get to know each other without the physical getting in the way. When Richard returned stateside there was a lot of work still to do and it showed Gary’s commitment.
I liked the way the author portrayed Kat as well, it was nice seeing a female character that was not a raving shrew but an actual friend to both the guys. Gary’s parents were also great.
