    <body><![CDATA[I didn't know I could like any kind of &quot;historical fiction&quot; but this is some crazy shit. Sharpe has engineered a new kind of epic with alternating characters and language that's as tight and ready to burst as an overinflated tire. Almost a 5-star read, and maybe it could have been if I would have been better schooled in the Jamestown story (I did much of my studying up on the story after I was finished). This Pocahontas is maybe my favorite character in fiction so far this year. See my little interview with Mr. Sharpe <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/Content?oid=770275&category=22148">here.</a>  ]]></body>
