Sharpe's Escape by Bernard Cornwell
3.0
I’m not going to lie, I enjoyed reading the bad guy beat up Sharpe in the beginning of the book. Sharpe is always winning fights (he’s kind of a gary stu) so him losing is such a breath of fresh air. It’s why I love Harper so much. First book we met him in and he had Sharpe struggling.
Still, this was your typical Sharpe book. War on foreign land check, incompetent officers check, villains to defeat check, damsel in distress check, epic battle at the end check. It’s starting to feel formulaic. I’m chasing the high Sharpe’s Rifles gave me and nothing so far is yet to get there.
ALSO! When are we changing settings?! We were in India for the first four, at sea for the fifth but since book six we’ve been in the Iberian Peninsula and we’ll still be there in the next book?! Bring the colonizers to Africa!
I still utterly despise the romance in this series.
