outspokenlibrarian 's review for:

The Rebels by John Jakes

3.0

---

This one was not as good as its predecessor. The bulk of this one focuses on the war, which is integral to the story, and its drag resembles how it must feel in real life to the soldier. So, while that is occasionally tedious, I understand it. However, the introduction of Judson Fletcher seems to muddy the book a bit, especially as his part in the saga doesn't become apparent until the last few pages.

Also, trigger warning for several violent sexual assaults in this one. That also gave it a lower rating.

I will check out the third one just to see what happens.
