A review by suzjustsuz
Beyond the Sunrise by Mary Balogh
3.0
3.5 stars. Above average for Balogh's earlier works with a bit more sex than usual in those books. The protagonists were difficult to like, particularly the heroine who cultivated a level of insipidness that was difficult to ignore were it not for the knowledge that it was mostly cultivated.
Still, she toyed with the hero for her own amusement. While she inevitably got her comeuppance for that, it was still difficult to empathize with her while she was doing so.
Balogh spent more time on the war in this book and, for the most part, paid particular attention to the valid history of the strategy in the campaign that was fought. It was well written enough to set me to research the events for a better understanding of this aspect of the Napoleonic wars.
