Sharpe's Havoc by Bernard Cornwell

4.0

This is my second book in the series and the plot pattern seems repetitive: Sharp finds himself in a tight spot and shows different sides of his character while he's getting out of it. I liked they way Sharp's character evolved since the previous book and the writing time gap seemed to be beneficial. Here Sharp is more solid as a character and he evolves coherently with the internal chronology. The descriptions of the everyday sides of the war life are detailed and interesting even if too vicious sometimes. I'm not an expert to comment on historical accuracy but they ring true enough. All in all, this was a very enjoyable read and I'll be sure to pick more books from the series.
