Manifest Destiny, Vol. 6: Fortis and Invisibilia by Chris Dingess

4.0

This is the first volume I believe that doesn't show the group advancing on their journey. The Corps of Discovery remains in the same location really in throughout this volume and the previous volume. Another thing that are different than previous books in the series is that there is no creature for the Corps to confront instead we have man vs. man. The baby is finally named Jean Baptiste. Hardy's story is added to after the heinous thing he did earlier on in the series. Alonso de Castillo Maldonado continues to try in influence Lewis and Clark in this but their willpower seems to be stronger than that of the previous expedition Irene Lebrun also gets a small arch in this book which is mostly in French. While I can't condone what she does in her arc I have to admit it was satisfying to see her take charge of her fate. Pryor's religious awakening that happened several books back takes center stage in this book and I don't really agree with being religious as divisive but the it seems that many things books, movies and the news all paint religion as a divisive thing that sows discontent among the people and creates problems. All of the monsters in this book are man made. There is a great scene with York and Jensen in this book which just makes me like York more, I really hope he makes it out of this alive. Lewis and Clark finally take Magdalene Boniface into their confidence as to what the mission really is. While this book is different I still enjoyed it quite a bit.
