Huntress Review's take on They Fought Like Men

Fiona and I received a wonderful review this week from renowned Huntress Reviews--check it out below, my friends. :-)

***** FIVE STARS! Aiden James and Fiona Fraser prove to be a formidable writing team in this incisive story about the women in history who have pretended to be men in order to serve in the military. This writing duo brought the war to life in vivid detail for me as I viewed the men fighting battles in egregious conditions and the women who have to deal with the same, as well as to keep their genders secret.

The story begins in the year 1862 and ends with the war. (Not including the Epilogue.) Women fighting in the war was unheard of and those caught faced charges, humiliation, and/or a fate worse than death. The tale swaps between the views of Hattie and her husband, Jonas, both serving in different places. Both fighting in hopes of seeing each other again someday. This fictional piece of history kept me glued to my seat as I eagerly anticipated what would come next. Totally riveting! *****
